Youth 'kills' stepmother
A youth allegedly killed his stepmother at Kellatajpur village of Gouripur upazila in Mymensingh on Thursday night over a family feud.
The deceased was identified as Halema Khatun, 48, second wife of Syed Ali Munshi of Kellatajpur.
Halema's stepchildren used to torture her regularly, said Morshedul Hasan Khan, officer-in-charge of Gouripur Police Station, quoting locals and family members.
On Thursday, she and her stepson Mohammad Enayet, 25, locked into an altercation over a family issue. At one stage, Enayet attacked her with a sharp weapon.
Critically injured, she was admitted to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital where she died around 9:00pm, said the OC.
Police detained Enayet for his alleged involvement. He was produced before a Mymensingh court yesterday that sent him to jail.
A murder case has been filed in this regard accusing Enayet, his brother and father.
