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.
