A 42 year-old housewife was murdered by slitting throat at her house in Pirganj upazila of Rangpur district, police said on Friday.


The deceased was identified as Asma Begum, wife of Malaysian expatriate Saju Mia of Bhabanipur village under the upazila.

Police and locals said the victim had been living in the house alone for a long time as her lone daughter is married and husband is out of the country.

Saju from Malaysia had been trying to reach Asma out over the mobile phone since Thursday evening but failed.

Later, he phoned neighbours and asked to enquire, who found her blood-stained body lying on the floor around 12:30am.

Breaking open the boundary gate of the house, the miscreants stormed into the house and killed her slitting throat, he suspected, reports UNB. 

An investigation was going on to arrest those involved with the murder, the OC added.
