All for illicit relations!
A man and his eighth grader sister-in-law took their own lives on Tuesday night hanging from a tree with the same rope at PurbaTetulbaria village in Sadar upazila over illicit relations.
They are Billal Hossain, 25, son of Montu Hossain of Purba-Tetulbaria village, and his sister-in-law Munni Khatun, 14, daughter of Shakhawat Hossain of the same village. Munni was a student of Class VIII of Narikelbaria High School.
Shakhawat said his daughter left the house on March 21 night with Billal and they were brought back on Sunday from Kushtia town. He said they committed suicide as they failed to get married.
Narikelbaria police camp-in-charge Sub-Inspector Badiur Rahman said Billal married Sumi Khatun in 2016. He later developed an affair with his sister-in-law Munni and they eloped last week. The family members, however, brought them back to the house on Sunday, he said.
At one stage, they committed suicide on Tuesday night hanging from a tree near the house as they were asked to refrain from illicit relations, Badiur said.
Locals found their bodies hanging from a tree yesterday morning and police sent the bodies to Jhenidah Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy, he said.
