Couple found dead in Bagerhat

The deceased were identified as Kabir Hossain Hawladar, 32, son of Abdul Majid Hawladar, and his wife Halima Begum, 27, of the village.

The couple had been blessed with two children – one five-year-old and the other one-and-half-month.

Officer-in-Charge of Sarankhola Police Station Rokeya Khanam said police recovered the bodies of the couple from the bedroom of the house around 11:00am while their infant was found lying on the bed alive.

The other child used to sleep with Abdul Majid in a separate house, she said.

Kabir and Halima had been in marital discord for long, the OC said, adding that they found a handwritten note on their bed stating that no one is responsible for their deaths. “It will be sent for examination,” she said.

The door of the room was found locked from inside and no one except the couple and the baby was there at night, Rokeya said, adding that they were informed after getting no response from the couple in the morning, reports UNB.

She said no injury marks were found on the bodies of the couple but a black spot was found on the left eye of Halima. “The bodies were sent to Bagerhat 250-bed Hospital morgue for autopsy.”
