Female medical student killed by 'in-laws'
A female student of Comilla Eastern Medical College was found dead at her in-laws' house at Shashidal village in Brahmanpara upazila on Friday night.
The deceased, Umme Ayman Swarna, 20, daughter of Dr MA Khaleque, was a 3rd-year student at the college.
Victim's elder brother Khorshed Alam said Swarna married Emon, 26, son of Nannu Mia of the village, without the consent of their parents about a year ago, and had been staying at her in-laws' house since then.
Informed by Swarna's neighbours that she had been tortured and killed by her in-laws, they rushed to the house and spotted Swarna's unconscious body lying on her bed around 10:00pm, added Khorshed.
Farhad Hossain, sub-inspector of Brahmanpara Police Station, said Swarna's body bore injury marks on the neck and was sent to the hospital morgue for autopsy.
Police suspect that Swarna's in-laws' might have strangled her to death over a family feud and went into hiding soon after committing the murder.
