RMG worker stabbed to death in N’ganj

A readymade garment worker was stabbed to death allegedly by his brother-in-law at Nayabazar in Narayanganj Sadar upazila early yesterday.

The victim Sumon Miah, 26, of Kishoreganj, used to live with his sister and her husband at a rented house in Nayabazar, said police.

Sumon's sister Hosne Ara, also a witness of the incident, said Sumon criticised her husband Habibullah, 32, for taking drugs and not providing any money for family expenditures.

At one point, the conversation turned into a feud and became violent as Sumon told Habibullah that he could not even provide milk to his infant child, she said.

Sumon went out of the house making the statement but Habibullah followed him and stabbed him to death just outside their house, she added.

The incident happened around 12:30am yesterday. Hearing Sumon scream, locals rushed to the spot and sent him to Narayanganj General Hospital where doctors declared him dead.

Aslam Hossain, officer-in-charge of Fatullah Model Police Station, said the body was sent to morgue for autopsy.

Sumon's brother Mohammad Rubel filed a case against Habibullah.

Meanwhile, police arrested the accused and placed him before a district court last evening.

The district's Senior Judicial Magistrate court recorded Habibullah's confessional statement and sent him to jail.
