A man named Mamun injured his wife and two children with a sharp weapon due to a family dispute in Kushtia Sadar Upazila. They were admitted to the hospital in critical condition, where his wife died.
After the brutal attack on his wife and children, Mamun himself tried to ‘commit suicide’ by stabbing himself in the neck. He is also being treated at the hospital.
The incident took place at around 9 pm on Tuesday in the Harishankarpur area of the upazila. Mamun (30) is a painter by profession. He is the son of Nabiul of the same area.
Locals said that after hearing the screams at night, neighbors rushed to the house next door. They saw Mamun’s one-and-a-half-year-old daughter Jannat and four-year-old Kulsum lying in a bloody state inside the house. At that time, the children’s mother Meghla (22) was struggling in a bloody state. Locals claim that Mamun stabbed his wife and two daughters in the head with a sharp knife and then stabbed himself in the throat.
Mamun’s mother Sufia Begum said, “I went to visit my daughter’s house with my eldest granddaughter. The two younger granddaughters were at home. I came back home tonight and saw this situation.” She said that her son had a family dispute with his mother-in-law. Earlier, she had left the family and gone to another place. Two days ago, her son persuaded her to come back. When I came home, I found out that today too, my wife was talking to someone on her mobile phone. Her son caught her red-handed. After that, he himself tried to commit suicide by hitting his wife and two daughters with something sharp.
Kushtia General Hospital Resident Medical Officer (RMO) Hossain Imam told Ajker, “All three were hit on the head with a sharp object. The mother died around 11pm while undergoing treatment. The condition of the two children is critical. They are not even in a condition to be referred. They are being treated as best they can.”
Kushtia Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mosharraf Hossain told Ajker, “Initially, we have learned that this incident occurred due to a family dispute. The police are working on the matter.”
