A woman was found dead at her in-law’s house in Chanua area of Chittagong’s Banshkhali upazila yesterday morning.
After being informed by locals, police recovered the body of Taslima Begum, 23, a housewife, and detained the mother-in-law Rehana Begum for questioning.
The body was later sent to Chittagong Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy, police said. Banshkhali police station Officer-in-Charge Swapan Kumar Majumder said they found some bruise marks around the victims neck and were yet to determine whether the incident was a murder or suicide. It would be clear after the autopsy report, he said.
Primary investigation of the police did not suggest any conflict between the victim and her mother-in-law and no one was able to give any concrete information regarding the death, the OC added.
The OC said: “Taslima’s husband is at sea as he works on a fishing trawler at Chakaria in Cox’s Bazar.” “She, her 10-year-old son and her mother-in-law were in the house during the incident.”
Police are investigating the matter and the victim’s mother-in-law is being questioned regarding the death.
No case has been filed with the station until the filing of this report.
