A policeman was allegedly killed by his wife in their Purba Monipur residence in the capital’s Mirpur on Saturday. Police recovered the body of Humayan Kabir, 34, assistant sub-inspector of Shah Ali police Station, from his room early yesterday. Police also arrested Kabir’s wife Rahima Sultana Rumi, 27, a nurse. Kabir was injected with poison, suspect police as they found a syringe in the room.
Morgue sources said the body bore an injection mark in an arm while injury marks in the head.
Victim’s brother filed a murder case against Rumi.
Their 11-year-old domestic help told The Daily Star that there were also a man and a woman, who came three days ago, in the house on the day.
Around 11:00am, Rumi sent the maid with Ishmam, two and a half year old son of the couple, to the roof.
The house help also said the visitors were not at home when she retuned and saw Kabir lying in his room.
However, Rumi claimed that Kabir used to torture her and also threatened her recently with divorce as he had an extra-marital affair.
Rumi claimed that the man was Misty and the woman was Riya, Kabir’s freinds, adding that Misty might have killed Kabir as Rumi shared her sorrows with him.
