A mother and her one and half year old child have been found dead at a house in city’s Mir Hazirbagh area.

Police recovered the bodies and sent to Sir Salimullah Medical College Hospital’s morgue on Monday night.

Police recovered a hammer and pillow from the scene. They suspect the incident to be a murder.

The victims are Roma Aktar, 27, and child Md Rishad. Roma’s husband Abdul Ohid has been absconding since the incident.
