Woman found dead at Khulna residence
A 45-year-old woman who returned home from Saudi Arabia recently was found dead at her rented house on Tank Road in Khulna city early Thursday.
The deceased was identified as Sheuli Begum, who had married her second husband Md Salauddin Khan only a few days ago.
Neighbours said her first husband’s son Riad, 28, a tiles worker, used to live with his mother in the same house.
Sheuli returned from Saudi Arabia 10 days ago and rented the house.
About one month ago, she divorced her first husband from abroad and married Salauddin after returning home, said Shahjahan Ahmed, inspector (investigation) of Khulna Sadar Police Station.
Around five to six days back, she withdrew Tk 5.75 lakh from a bank and brought the money home which the family members knew, the police official said.
Shihab Karim, assistant commissioner of police (Khulna Zone), said the body was recovered from a locked room, and since the murder her son Riad remained abscoding.
Senior officers visited the spot and a CID forensics team collected evidence from the scene, he said.
Investigators suspect she was first struck on the left side of her head and later suffocated with a pillow, reports UNB.
No case has been filed yet.
