A man was hacked to death allegedly by his wife at Joypur village in Rupsha upazila of Khulna early Friday.


The deceased was Mohor Ali, 45, hailed from Bajuya area in Dacope upazila. He used to work at a sweetmeat shop.

Mir Razzak, Officer-in-Charge of Rupsa Police Station said the deceased, Mohor Ali, 45, had converted from Hinduism to Islam about 22 years ago and married Hosneara Begum of Joypur village.

The victim’s son, Shimul Hossain, said his father returned home from work on Thursday night. His parents were sleeping in the next room.

He said that very early in the morning his mother, Hosneara Begum Putul, knocked on their door and told him to keep the door open before leaving. Shimul went back to sleep.

Around 6:30am, he woke up after hearing his brother-in-law’s screams and found his father lying in a pool of blood.

He said they searched for his mother but could not find her anywhere. Later, they informed police.

Shimul alleged that his mother fled after killing his father, taking her necessary clothes with her. Her mobile phone was also found switched off, reports UNB. 

OC Mir Razzak said police recovered the body and legal steps will be taken.
