In the time of chaos between parents, their son Shohag tried to resist his father and then Harez Mia also stabbed his son and he died on the spot.
Later, Harez Mia stabbed on his own stomach with his sharp weapon. Thus, he tried to commit suicide.
Locals recovered both injured husband Harez and wife Monoara Begum, sent to Narayanganj General Hospital, where the doctor on duty referred Monoara to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where she died while undergoing treatment. Harez Mia is also now undergoing treatment in DMCH with a police cordon.
Officer in charge of Fatulla model police station Aslam Hossain told that the clue behind this killing yet not established but apparently assumed that Harez suspected his wife to have extra-marital affairs with other man and thus he frequently tortured his wife. Besides, their family is poverty stricken, so quarrels happened very often in the family.
