Man hacked dead by wife
A man was hacked to death allegedly by his wife at Tattiuli village in Kulaura upazila on Sunday night.
The deceased was Abdul Muslim, 40, husband of Rima Begum, 35, of the area. The couple have four children.
Family members said Rima hacked Muslim dead in front of their children over a family feud around 11:00pm.
Muslim's sister-in-law Montaj Ali said following a phone call from the victim's elder daughter Sadia Begum, 10, she rushed to the spot and found him in a pool of blood.
He was taken to the upazila health complex where on-duty doctor declared him dead.
Muslim's brother Mokhles Mia said all of a sudden Sadia saw Rima hacking her father in his sleep. As she screamed, Rima left the scene with her three-year-old son Shahid. Earlier in the evening, the couple locked in an altercation over a family issue.
Muslim often tied his wife and two daughters and beat them mercilessly, said Mokhles.
"The body was sent to Moulvibazar Sadar Hospital for autopsy. A case was filed and drives are on to arrest the accused," said Shamim Musa, OC of Kulaura Police Station.
