College employee hacked to death
An office assistant of a college was hacked to death at Chandipur Bazar in Indurkani upazila under the district on Sunday.
The deceased was Md Rezaul Karim Ripon, 40, son of Abdur Rahman of Char Baleshwar village in the upazila.
He was an office assistant of KC Technical and Business Management College.
Kanchan Bepary, 33, son of Abu Bakar Bepary of Khol Patua village, attacked Ripon and hit him repeatedly with a sharp weapon, leaving him dead on the spot on Sunday evening, witnesses said.
After the incident, Kanchan tried to flee the scene, but locals caught him red-handed and handed him over to the police.
The victim's family members said Kanchan married Munia Akter, one of the nieces of Ripon, four years ago. Kanchan often tortured Munia over trivial issues since the marriage.
Three months ago, Munia came to her father's house and her family decided to get her divorced from Kanchan, family members said.
As Ripon was handling the matter, Kanchan got angry with him.
He murdered Ripon in a planned way, said locals.
Ripon's wife Hasi Begum filed a murder case with Indurkani Police Station, accusing Kanchan, said Habibur Rahman, officer in charge of the police station.
