A joint team of the police station and DB police has arrested the fugitive killer husband Ashraful Islam in the case of killing his wife Hasina Begum by severing her head from her body.
Lalmonirhat Police Superintendent Saiful Islam confirmed the arrest through a press briefing on Monday afternoon.
Earlier, he was arrested from Pinkir Mor in Khutamara area of ​​Lalmonirhat district town on Sunday afternoon.
Arrested Ashraful Islam is the son of Nawab Ali, a resident of Kutibari village, which is located near the Indian border in Durgapur union of Aditmari upazila of Lalmonirhat. He is a van driver by profession.
Police Superintendent Saiful Islam said in a press briefing that after initial interrogation, the police have confirmed that this was a planned murder. The accused himself admitted that there were constant quarrels between his two wives. Therefore, the accused killed his second wife with the help of his first wife.
He also said that the police came to know that the deceased second wife also had a daughter in her house. In the meantime, the second wife left him and married someone else. She also has a daughter there. Later, as she did not get along with Hasina Begum, she left that husband and remarried Ashraful and started living a family.
After this, a quarrel started between Hasina and Mehron. At one point, Ashraful got fed up. So, Ashraful planned to kill his second wife to please his elder wife. With the help of his elder wife Mehron Begum, the two of them left their house in their van on March 5, saying that they would take their second wife for a walk. That day, they roamed around different places in Lalmonirhat all day.
While wandering around, Ashraful bought a Hasua from Kulaghat market. When his wife Hasina Begum asked what this sharp weapon was being bought for, the killer husband said that it was taken because it would be needed for household purposes. In the evening, the killer husband Ashraful gave Hasina Begum a sedative along with betel leaves to make her unconscious. After a while, when Hasina Begum fell unconscious, he took her to Shafiqul’s cornfield in the Fulgach area of ​​Mogolhat union in Sadar upazila at around 9 pm. There, he first took Hasina Begum and stabbed her in the neck from behind and slaughtered her to death. Later, so that no one could recognize the body, he severed her head from her body and took it to his house in a plastic bag. To please his first wife, Ashraful showed Hasina’s severed head to his first wife Mehron. The next day, Ashraful buried the severed head in a tobacco field on the Bangladesh side near pillar number 925 of the Indian border. Accused Ashraful said in the initial interrogation that he committed the murder to please his elder wife Mehron.
In the press briefing, the Superintendent of Police also said that using investigation and information technology, the police recovered the severed head of the deceased Hasina Begum from a tobacco field near her house. In the meantime, the police recovered the sharp blood-stained razor used to kill Hasina Begum, a wooden box, Ashraful’s blood-stained clothes and their veil. Earlier, the police arrested Ashraful’s first wife Mehron.
The Superintendent of Police said that the police will apply for a remand in court for the main mystery of the murder and some more information.
Meanwhile, Superintendent of Police Saiful Islam also confirmed to reporters that after the autopsy of the deceased Hasina Begum, the body will be handed over to her daughter China Begum on Monday afternoon.
