The deceased is Kohinoor Akhter, 30, the wife of Millat, 35.
“The victim moved to their new house in Char Majid five days prior to this incident,” said OC of Char Jabbar police Md Nizam Uddin.
Police arrested Millat after his father Shahjahan Dubai had informed locals about the murder committed by his son. The locals later informed the police who recovered the body from the village at 11pm on Friday.
Victim’s neighbour Shima Begum said: “Around 3am last Friday, Mim [the victim’s daughter] began screaming in terror. When I went there to see what the matter was, Mim came home with me and said neither of her parents were home.
“The next morning, after I informed her grandfather Shahjahan Dubai, who lives in a neighbouring village, he came and took the child away.”
Shahjahan said: “I became suspicious after seeing how terrified Mim was and called my son Millat over the phone immediately. When he confessed to killing his wife by strangling her, I asked him to return home and later handed him over to the locals to get him arrested.”
He added that Millat had voluntarily confessed to the murder when the locals came. He showed them the place where had he buried the body inside the house. “The locals then informed the police who dug out Kohinoor’s body,” he said.
Asked about the reason behind the murder, Millat said that he had no interest on her anymore.
OC Nizam said that the body had been sent for a post-mortem examination.
