The deceased was identified as Shantona Begum, 28, wife of Mohammad Ali, and their only child Zihad, 5, residents of Maipara village under the upazila.

Being informed, police recovered the bodies around 5:30 pm on Sunday from the house, said Masud Rana, sub-inspector (SI) of Puthia police station.
