In Chandpur’s Faridganj upazila, the son has been accused of killing his mother for not marrying her. The incident took place in Ichapur village of Paikpara South Union of the upazila on Friday (April 26) afternoon. Faridganj Thana police recovered the body from the spot after receiving the information.
The murdered mother’s name is Ranu Begum (55). Son Rachel (22). The police could not arrest him as he was absconding after the incident.
The deceased’s husband, Atar Khan, said, ‘Rachel is the youngest of my three daughters and two sons. For days we were being threatened to get her married. He killed me too. I work as a cook in a local madrassa.’
He also said, ‘My son Rachel called me at 2:49 pm and said who is keeping his mother slaughtered at home. Then I was sure that my wife was killed by her child. After hanging up, I came home and saw the dead body of my wife Ranu Begum lying on the bed. My son Rachel has run away. Later, the locals came and informed the police after my calls.’
Local Union Parishad (UP) Chairman Hossain Ahmed Rajan Sheikh said, I rushed to the spot after receiving the news. I came to know that Rachel is the youngest among the 5 children of the deceased. The eldest son Farooq lived in Dhaka for about 5 years. Does not keep track of parents at home. The remaining three daughters are married and live in their husband’s house.
Chairman Rachel works as a laborer in a grocery store in Faridganj market. For the past few days she has been threatening her parents to get her married. If she is not married, she will kill her parents. I want the concerned administration to prosecute this murder by proper investigation.
Faridganj police officer-in-charge (OC) confirmed the matter. Saidul Islam said that Ranu Begum’s body was recovered from the spot after receiving the news. Ranu Begum’s husband Atar Khan and her daughter Shaheen said she was killed by her younger son Rachel. Accused Rachel is absconding. An operation is underway to arrest him. A murder case is pending in the police station in this regard.
