Man kills wife over extramarital affair
A man killed his wife following a feud over the latter's alleged extramarital affair with one of her neighbours in Moulvibazar's Kulaura upazila on Tuesday.
The deceased was Nasima Begum, 28, wife of Rafique Miah, 35, of Brahmanbazar village in the upazila.
Police detained Rafique early Wednesday and produced him before a court the same day.
After recording Rafique's confessional statement, the court later sent him to jail, said Binoy Bhushan Roy, officer-in-charge (investigation) of Kulaura Police Station.
Rafique's father Tajul Mia said there had been a quarrel between the couple over Nasima's extramarital affair with one of her neighbours.
According to the case statement, Rafique swooped on Nasima with a sharp weapon while she was asleep at her parents' house at Adampur village around 9:00pm and slit her throat.
Rafique also stabbed Nasima's mother Sonajan Begum and sister Sonia Begum when they tried to resist him, leaving the duo severely injured.
On information, police recovered the body and sent it to the hospital for autopsy.
