Killed for a memory card!
A woman was stabbed to death and two of her family members were injured following a quarrel with neighbours over a memory card in Chittagong city's Sadarghat area on Saturday night.
Stabbed in the chest, Bali Begum, 25, was declared dead at Chittagong Medical College Hospital, said CMCH police.
Her mother Baby Akther, 50, and brother Suman, 28, were undergoing treatment at the hospital with stab injuries in different parts of their bodies, they said.
Nezam Uddin, officer-in-charge of Sadarghat Police Station, told The Daily Star that Suman lent a mobile phone set to his neighbour Akramul Haque, 18, as the latter wanted to make a call.
When Akram gave the cellphone back to Suman he refused to take it as he did not find a memory card.
Akram told Suman that there was no memory card in the phone, triggering an altercation between them, said the OC.
Later, the family members of both the two youths quarreled when Akram's brother Joy, 20, stabbed Bali, said the police official. The other two were injured as they tried to save Bali.
Police arrested Joy, his mother Mita Begum and brother Akram, said the OC.
