Police have found the body of a woman, aged around 30 years, from a shack in Mohammadpur area of Dhaka.
The man, who lived with the woman, is currently on the run from the law.
Police suspect that the man, believed to be her husband, murdered her with a “boti,” a locally made sharp kitchen utensil, and then fled the scene.
Confirming the matter to the Dhaka Tribune, Mohammadpur police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) GG Biswas said: “Acting on a tip-off, police went to Chand Mia Housing in Mohammadpur, and recovered the body.
“The woman had rented the shack along with a man four days ago, introducing themselves as a married couple. The victim’s body bears multiple lacerations. We suspect the man murdered her and escaped.”
The police have found the woman’s national ID card, but are yet to learn details regarding her family.
The OC said the name of the suspect is being kept a secret for the sake of investigation.
After collecting fingerprints, the body was sent to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College and Hospital morgue for autopsy.
