An alleged drug addict man killed his pregnant wife and two children at his residence in Kamalkasna area of Rangpur city early Sunday.
The deceased were identified as Asfia Akhtar Ratna, 32, wife of Abdur Razzak, 38, their three-year-old daughter Neha and one-year-old son Nishat, said Kazi Muttaki Ibnu Minan, Deputy Commissioner (Crime) of Rangpur Metropolitan Police (RMP).
On information, police recovered the bodies from the house around 1:00pm yesterday and sent those to Rangpur Medical College Hospital for autopsy, the police official said.
Locals caught red-handed killer Razzak while he attempted to commit suicide after killing the trio and they handed him to the police.
During primary interrogation, Razzak admitted that he first strangulated her wife to death and later killed his two children in the same way, said the DC said.
The police official said that a neighbour saw the bodies on a bed inside the house through a window around 11:00am.
Family dispute might be a reason behind the killings and police are investigating the incident, said the DC.
SM Abdur Rashid, elder brother of Ratna, said his brother-in-law Abdur Razzak was drug addict. He borrowed Tk 70,000 from Abdur Rashid six months back for buying a rickshaw. Razzak also assured him that he would quit drug.
But when Abdur Rashid demanded the money back, Razzak refused to return it. He also used to torture Ratna, said Abdur Rashid.
Razzak might have killed his wife Ratna and her two children following a dispute over the money, he added.
