3 housewives killed
Two housewives were murdered allegedly by their husbands over family feuds in Mymensingh and Moulvibazar on Friday while another was found dead in Manikganj yesterday.
A man allegedly strangled his wife to death over a family feud and dumped the body into a nearby river in Trishal upazila of Mymensingh early Friday, reports our correspondent.
The victim, Rina Khatun, 28, was wife of Rubel Mia, 31, a garment worker.
Being informed by locals, police and firemen recovered Rina’s body from the bank of Khiru river near Chalerghat area around 10:00am on Friday morning.
Deceased’s father Murad Mollah, a resident of Khanpur village in Magura Sadar upazila, lodged a case with Trishal Police Station on Friday evening accusing Rubel and some other unidentified people.
According to the case statement, following a love affair, Rina, who used to work at a readymade garment factory in the capital, married one of her co-worker Rubel about four years ago.
After three years of the marriage, Rina came to know that Rubel married another woman earlier and concealed the matter which led to a family feud between the two.
About eight months ago, Rina sought divorce from Rubel and had been living in Dhaka since then.
On Thursday, Rubel met Rina in Dhaka and asked her to accompany him to Kishoreganj so that they can mitigate the crisis between them.
But on their way back, Rubel might have killed Rina and dumped the body on the river, police said, quoting the case statement.
Meanwhile, a woman was killed allegedly by her husband over a family feud in Habiganj’s Madhabpur upazila on Friday night, reports our Moulvibazar correspondent.
The victim, Nipa Akther, 28, mother of a baby boy, was wife of Sharif Mia of Bengaduba village.
Sharif married Nipa, daughter of Ahad Mia of Chaportola village, in 2016.
Quoting locals, police said the couple often locked in altercations over different family issues for the last couple of months.
Failing to find any response on Friday morning, neighbours peeped through the windows and found Nipa lying unconscious on the floor and informed the police.
Officer in Charge (Investigation) of Madhabpur Police Station Golam Dastagir said the cause of the death will be known after the autopsy.
Away in Manikganj, police recovered the throat-slit body of a housewife from a paddy field in Singair upazila yesterday, reports our correspondent.
The deceased, Hasina Begum, 55, was wife of Abdur Rahman of Paril Khuamuri village.
Quoting the deceased’s family members, Officer in Charge (OC) of Singair Police Station Abdus Sattar said Hasina went out of her house on Friday evening and remained missing since then.
Villagers spotted her throat-slit body in a paddy field near yesterday morning and informed the police, who recovered the body and sent it to the hospital for autopsy.
