Son kills mother
An elderly woman was stabbed to death by her “mentally ill” son in Chittagong yesterday afternoon.
Rawshan Ara, 60, wife of Amirul Hoque, was stabbed by her elder son Jahirul Hoque Sabuj, 40, at their tin-shed house at Hafiz Colony around 5:30pm, said police.
She died on the spot, said SM Shahidul Islam, officer-in-charge (investigation) of Chandgaon Police Station.
Sabuj, a cancer patient, fled the scene and went into hiding, he said.
Quoting the victim's family, Dipak Khisa, assistant commissioner (Panchlaish) of Chittagong Metropolitan Police, said Sabuj, who had been mentally disturbed due to his illness, suddenly attacked his mother with a knife possibly out of depression.
He said they were trying to arrest Sabuj.
