Father, 3 sons murdered in Mymensingh
A father and three of his sons were stabbed to death by their close relatives over a family feud in Nandail Upazila last night.
The deceased father was Billal Hossain, 58, a carpenter by profession, and his three sons were Farid, 28, Pavel, 18, and Himel, 16.
Billal's wife Banesa Begum, 45, also sustained critical head and neck injuries and was rushed to Mymensingh Medical college Hospital, police said.
Billal's two other sons -- Kiran, 25, and Rubel, 20 -- were not hurt as they were in another room during the attack.
Murad Ali, a sub-inspector of Nandail Police Station, said Billal's elder brother Lal Mia and his two sons -- Jamal and Kamal -- stormed their house around 10:30pm wielding sharp weapons and stabbed them indiscriminately.
Billal and his family embroiled in an angry quarrel with Lal Mia and his family in the morning, which triggered the brutal attack.
However, the reason behind their enmity that led to the bloodshed could not be known immediately.
Police are raiding the area to arrest the killers, Murad said.
