Man kills wife over marital discord in Jashore
A housewife was strangulated to death allegedly by her husband following a dispute over suspicion of extramarital affairs at Shantala village in Jashore Sadar upazila early Friday.
The deceased was identified as Shahanara Khatun, 30, wife of Atiar Rahman of the village.
According to family sources, the couple, who had a son and a daughter, divorced two years ago over mutual suspicion but reunited six months later.
However, marital discord resurfaced between them.
The victim's son, Rayhan, said an altercation broke out between his parents in the early hours. At one point, Atiar physically assaulted Shahanara and strangled her with a towel around 5:30am.
Dr Rajib Roy Chowdhury at Jashore General Hospital confirmed that Shahanara died of strangulation and bore marks of physical injuries on her body.
Officer-in-Charge of Jashore Kotwali Police Station Md Kabir Hossain said the body had been sent to Jashore General Hospital morgue for an autopsy and the suspect had been detained, reports UNB.
