Police in Gazipur says that a woman has confessed to chopped up her husband’s body after murdering him.
On Friday, the mutilated body of Rabiqul Islam was recovered after locals at Gilar Chala in Sreepur Municipality reported to police.
Soon after, police detained Raqibul’s wife Jibonnahar.
Speaking at a media briefing on Saturday, Superintendent of Police (SP) Shamsunnahar said that the wife confessed to killing her husband before chopping up the body into pieces.
“Rabiqul and Jibonnahar had been living in a rented house owned by Abdul Hai at Gilar Chala,” she said SP Shamsunnahar. “Rabiqul worked as a loader at textile factory ‘How Are You’ warehouse while Jibonnahar is a sewing machine operator at the Meghna Knit Composite Factory.”
On the night of Thursday, Jibonnahar was enraged in an altercation with her husband over her monthly wage, said the Gazipur police chief. “Following the argument, Rabiqul assaulted Jibonnahar before going to sleep. Jibonnahar then struck her husband on the head with a brick before she strangled him to death with a piece of cloth.”
Jibonnahar hid the body in her wardrobe and went to work as usual the next morning. Late on Friday, she returned home and cut off the body into several pieces, said SP Shamsunnahar
“She dumped the body parts in sacks at several locations, including near the boundary wall of her workplace Meghna Knit Composite Factory.”
On Friday, locals around the Meghna factory reported to police about the body parts.
“Jibonnahar confessed to the killing during initial integration,” SP Shamsunnahar told the media.
Jibonnahar and Rabikul have a 4-year-old daughter named Maria Akter Roja, who usually lived with Jinonnahar’s parents. She was at the nearby home of Jibbonnahar’s sister during the incident.
