'Drug addict' kills mother, son in Natore

A "drug addict" stabbed his mother and son to death in Natore last night, said police.

The dead are Bilkis Begun, 55, and Alif Hossain, 12, of Dastanabad village in Natore Sadar.

Biplob Bijoy Talukdar, superintendent of Natore police, said Alam Sardar, 35, hacked his parents and son Alif indiscriminately around 8:30pm following a longstanding feud with his parents over a piece of land. His mother and son died on the spot.

His father was first taken to Natore Sadar Hospital and was later moved to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, the police official said.

Police arrested Alam, he added.
