Woman, daughter found dead in Chattogram

A woman and her minor daughter were found hanging from the ceiling of their house at East Gomdandi in Chattogram’s Boalkhali upazila on Monday, reports UNB.

The deceased are Sharmin Akter, 27, wife of Selim, and their one-and-half-year-old daughter Taslima.

Helal Uddin Faruki, officer-in-charge of Boalkhali police station, said Selim, a human-hauler driver, used to live in the house with his second wife and daughter.

Locals found Sharmin and her daughter hanging from the ceiling in the afternoon and informed police.

Later, police recovered the bodies and sent those to local hospital morgue for autopsy.

Police suspected that Sharmin killed her daughter first and then killed herself over family feud. Selim went into hiding after the incident.
