A housewife was mudered in Faridpur on Tuesday night while a farmer was beaten to death in Manikganj yesterday.
Our Faridpur correspondent reported that a woman was killed allegedly by her husband over family feud in Nagarkanda upazila on Tuesday.
The victim, Beauty Begum, 20, wife of Mizanur Rahman of Kesabnagar village in Sadar upazila, was a worker at Jobaida-Karim Jute Mills.
Locals said Mizanur, driver of a staff bus of the jute mill, married Beauty, daughter of Chan Mia of Konanagar village in Nagarkanda upazila, about a year ago and started living at a rented house in Minarnagar area.
The couple often locked in altercation over Mizanur's drug addiction, locals alleged.
Mizanur's friend Fazlu Matbor said Mizanur phoned him around 10:00pm, saying that he went out of his house after an altercation with his wife Beauty.
Mizanur also requested him to go to his house and see the situation there, Fazlu said, adding that he, along with house owner Rina Begum, went to Mizanur's house and found Beauty's body lying on the bed.
Officer-in-Charge of Nagarkanda Police Station Mizanur Rahman said Mizanur might have strangled Beauty.
