Mother strangles 3-yr-old child
A woman strangled her three-year-old daughter at village Char Niamat Naya Para, a remote area in Phulpur upazila, in the early hours of yesterday.
Neighbours caught Jasmine Akhtar, 35, a mother of two, for killing her daughter Fatema and handed over her to the police.
Jasmine, wife of Adam Ali, an unemployed man, has long been suffering from depression due to abject poverty, the police said.
She confessed to the police that she strangled her daughter in her sleep at around 4:30 am and she also wanted to kill herself.
But the neighbours rushed into her home after her seven-year son Rashid started crying seeing the incident.
The police produced Jasmine to the court, which sent her to the jail hajat.
The body of the girl was sent to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH) morgue for autopsy.
