A sexagenarian man was hacked to death allegedly by his neighbour at Faringa village in Dhamrai upazila on Saturday noon. The victim was identified as Haran Matbar, 70, of the village. Police quoting locals said there was a longstanding conflict between Haran and van-puller Delwar over land mortgage. On Saturday, Delwar picked up a quarrel with Haran over the issue and at one stage hacked him to death at about 12:00 noon. Delwar also stabbed Haran's son Alim and his nephew Ishaq as they tried to resist him. Police later recovered the body and sent it to hospital morgue for autopsy. A case was filed.
