UNB, Narayanganj :
A housewife was strangulated by her husband at Dharmaganj Pakapul area of Fatullah on early Sunday. The deceased was identified as Monjuri Begum, 23, wife of Masud Khan.
Kamal Uddin, officer-in-charge of Fatullah Model Police Station, said Masud, a son of Ahid Khan of Kallyanpur village of Rajbari district, married Manjuri Begum, a daughter of Sheikh Mannan of BS Dangi village in Charbhadrasan upazila of Faridpur district, eight years ago.They did not have any children, presumably portending the lack of happiness in their union. Masud married again about one -and-half years ago without permission from Monjuri, it is alleged.Masud and his second wife, Laboni, started torturing Monjuri, to drive her away from the house they shared. Sunday night’s episode, when Masud strangled Monjuri to death, was the latest in a series of incidents.
On information police recovered the body and sent it to Narayanganj General Hospital for autopsy.
Victim’s elder brother Sheikh Farid filed a case with Fatulla Model Police Station against Masud Khan and his younger brother Jahangir in this connection. Police have already arrested Masud, who in preliminary interrogation confessed the killing to police.
On Tuesday noon, Mala put pressure on Palash to get married and subsequently the duo locked in an altercation over the matter.
At one stage, Palash hacked Mala with sharp weapon, dismembered the body into seven pieces.
Being informed by Biplab, police recovered the body and arrested Palash, said officer-in-charge of Amtali Police Station Md Shahid Ullah.
