The body was found four days after Sumi's disappearance. Her body was severed into pieces and hidden in a wardrobe in five polythene packets.
The deceased's sister Brishty Akter said: "Sumi was supposed to visit her father's place on Thursday. When she did not appear till Monday, I went to her place. I called the neighbours when I smelled something rotting.”
She also added that Mamun,Sumi’s husband, had been unreachable from Saturday and his phone had been switched off.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Rajib Kumar Saha of Sreepur police station told Dhaka Tribune: "We recovered the severed body parts and sent them for autopsy in Shaheed Taj Uddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital. However, her head was missing from the place."
