Woman dies, husband injured in family feud
A housewife was stabbed to death and her husband seriously injured in their house in Tintahari area under Manikchhari upazila on Tuesday.
The deceased was Salma Akter, 22, and her husband is Belal Hossain, 26.
Neighbours said they heard Salma and Belal quarrelling in their house around midnight on Tuesday. When they went to the house they saw both of them lying in a pool of blood.
They were rushed to the upazila health complex where the doctor declared Salma dead. Belal was sent to Chittagong Medical College Hospital after primary treatment.
Locals said Belal is a rental motorcycle driver. He is a drug addict and is involved in drug trafficking, they said, adding that it created turmoil in the life of the couple. Arbitrations regarding the matter were held several times, but to no avail, they added.
Manikchhari Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mohammad Rashid said Salma's father Nizam Uddin filed a case with Manikchhari Police Station, accusing Belal.
There are twenty stabbing marks on the housewife's body and a slit on the neck, he said.
It seems that no one from outside is involved in this incident, the OC said, adding that it could be due to an internal conflict of the family members.
