Woman, son, daughter committed suicide in Uttarkhan: Police

A woman, her son and daughter have been found dead in their Uttarkhan residence with separate notes next to the bodies. Police think these three members of the family might have committed suicide.

The deceased are Jahana Begum Mukta, 45, her son Kazi Muhib Hassan, 28 and her daughter Taspia Sultana 22. They were from Bhairab of Kishoreganj.

Officer-in-charge of Uttarkhan police station, Helal Uddin, confirmed recovering a suicide note next to Muhit’s body that read, "Nobody is responsible for our deaths. We did it due to negligence from our relatives."

Police recovered the bodies from a house in the capital’s Uttarkhan area around 10:00pm.

The neighbours of the deceased informed the police after a stench came out of the flat. The house was locked from inside while recovering the bodies.

OC Helal said that Muhib’s father died two to three years ago.

"Muhib was unemployed and his sister was mentally challenged. She used to scream all the time. He was depressed and may have commited suicide due to that," the OC added.

The police will file a case once the postmortem of the bodies are done and take action accordingly.

The family rented the flat on 1 May. Three other tenants live in the building, said inspector Nasir Uddin of Uttarkhan police station.
