<i>Expat killed allegedly by wife</i>
A Dubai expatriate was murdered at his father-in-law's house allegedly by wife at Bhabki village in Muktagachha upazila early Tuesday.
Victim Helal Uddin, 35, was son of Ahmed Ali of Nandibari village in the upazila. Helal was in Dubai for more than three years.
Police said, Hafiza Khatun, 25, wife of Helal, a mother of two children, allegedly developed an illicit relationship with a local young man during Helal's stay in Dubai. Helal returned to country a month ago and since had been staying at his father-in-law's house.
On hearing the story of illicit relationship, Helal locked in altercations with Hafiza over the matter on several occasions, police said.
Police, however, declined to disclose the name and address of the lover of Hafiza for the interest of investigation.
At a stage of their bitter relationship, Hafiza made a plan with her boyfriend to kill Helal. They tactfully fed Helal sleeping pills Monday night and when he was in deep sleep, Hafiza with the help of her lover slit the throat of Helal with a knife at around 3:00 am, said Mir Raqibul Haque, officer-in-charge (OC) of Muktagachha police station.
Being informed, police rushed to the spot and recovered the body at around 8:30 am yesterday.
Hafiza was handed over to police but her lover fled the scene.
Police sent the body of Helal to Mymensingh Medical College and Hospital morgue (MMCH) for autopsy.
