Love ends in death
Love ends in death for a couple as a young woman killed herself yesterday, two days after her husband committed suicide on Monday.
The dead was Ritu Akter, 19, wife of late Khoka Mia, 20, son of Nazrul Islam of Uchhagram village in Nasirnagar upazila.
Police and family sources said the duo eloped and got married without consent of their parents last year. They lived in a rented house and worked in a garment factory at Uttara in the capital since their marriage.
Md Mizanur Rahman, sub-inspector of Brahmanbaria Model Police Station, said Ritu took her life by hanging herself from the ceiling of her uncle in-laws' house in Kandipara area of the district town.
Ritu left a suicide note in which she stated that 'You will bury me with Khoka, I can't live without Khoka, goodbye'.
Khoka took his life by hanging himself from the ceiling of his rented house in Uttara's Dakkhinkhan area on Monday. The incident took place when his wife went out of the house to bring bread from a local restaurant.
Ritu came to Brahmanbaria town with her husband's body on Tuesday. He was buried in the afternoon. Ritu committed suicide early yesterday.
Ritu's body was sent to Brahmanbaria Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy, the SI said, adding that an unnatural death case was filed.
