Woman killed by husband

A woman was killed allegedly by her husband at Mirzapur upazila in Tangail yesterday.

The deceased is Jhalmal Rani, 32, wife of Pran Krishna.

SM Mizanul Haque, officer-in-charge of Mirzapur Police Station, said the couple used to live on the second-floor of a six-storied building in Sohagpara.

They used to quarrel frequently, said the OC quoting neighbours. He might have hacked her to death following an argument and fled the scene, he added.

Police detained his brother-in-law, who lives in the same building, for quizzing.
