The bodies of a woman and her daughter were recovered from a paddy field at Delduar upazila in the district yesterday.
The dead were identified as Hazera Begum, 45, and Nasrin Akter, 21, of Borny Dakkhin Para village.
The police suspect that the mother and daughter were strangled. They arrested Nasrin’s husband Sirajul Islam, of Habla Dakkhin Para village.
Abu Bakar Siddique, officer-in-charge (OC) of Delduar Police Station, said villagers saw the bodies on the field adjacent to the victims’ house and informed the police.
Delduar police recovered them around 10:00am and sent to Tangail General Hospital morgue for autopsy.
Hazera’s elder son Mosharaf Hossain filed a case with the police station.
Mostofa Miah, younger son of Hazera, said his sister Nasrin and Sirajul got married three years ago. About three months back Nasrin left the husband’s house and came to her father’s house because of regular torture by Sirajul.
Meantime, Nasrin started making handicrafts with her mother for a living.
Three days before, Sirajul came to their house and asked Nasrin to return to his house, said Mostofa. When she (Nasrin) refused to go back, Sirajul threatened to kill her as well as her mother.
