A man was hacked to death allegedly by his rivals over establishing supremacy in Dhaka s Mirpur area this afternoon.
The deceased was identified as Shahin Uddin (40) of Mirpur-12, Wazed Ali, officer-in-charge of Pallabi Police Station, told The Daily Star.
Quoting locals, OC Wazed said a group of criminals led by Sumon attacked Shahin in front of his house around 4:45pm and injured him with lethal weapons, leaving him dead on the spot.
On information, a police team rushed to the spot and started preparing to send the body to a hospital morgue for autopsy, he said.
Police detained Faruk following the murder.
Victim s sister Ruma Akter said Faruk returned from Japan a couple of years ago and since then was not doing anything in the country. This frustrated Kanak, mother of two, leading to altercations with him at times.
Following one such altercation, Faruk stabbed his wife with a kitchen knife, leaving her critically injured.
Kanak, also a former BCL leader, was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where doctors declared her dead around 5:30am, she said.
The OC of Pallabi Police Station said Faruk, during primary interrogation, admitted that he stabbed his wife.
Police sources said they initially found that the victim gave money that Faruk earned in Japan to one of her relatives who was dilly-dallying to pay them back.
