A 32-year old woman surrendered to the local police station after killing her husband over land dispute at Putimara village in Sreenagar upazila of Munshiganj district on Tuesday morning.
The killer wife has been identified as Mazeda Begum, wife of slain Waliullah, 38, an expatriate to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).Police recovered the body by breaking open the door of the house following the statement of Mazeda Begum, police said.
Sreenagar Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sahidur Rahman said, “A team of police went to the house following the statement of the surrendered woman and found Waliullah’s hands and legs tied with scrap and neck wrapped with another scrap in their house.”
A quarrel was ensued between the couple for three months when Waliullah tried to sell the land, worth Tk 50 lakh, of his wife to launch a business in the country which was funded by himself from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a few years ago, the OC said.
Finally, Waliullah was scheduled to go to the kingdom on Tuesday night after failing to convince his wife about the business initiative. Majeda was against her husband’s leaving the country and killed him in cool brain, he said.
“We are trying to find out if there is any other person involved with the killing of Waliullah and investigation in this regard is going on,” the OC said.
The body was sent to the Munshiganj Sadar Hospital morgue for an autopsy, he said.
Waliullah went to the KSA about 18 years ago and got married with Mazeda Begum in 2003. They have two sons and a daughter, said Deen Islam, brother of Waliullah.
Mazeda also torn Waliullah’s passport and visa following the quarrel with her husband over the issue last week and took a plan to kill him to save the land and other properties, Deen Islam said.
It is to be noted that, another 43-year old woman Chandra surrendered to police after killing her husband in the capital on January 19. The deceased, identified as Fazal Mia, 50, a rickshaw puller, was a resident in the city’s Badda area.
