The body of a 65-year-old woman was recovered from her house in Rupsha upazila of Khulna on Friday (13 September), morning.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) Enamul Haque of Rupsha Police Station confirmed the matter.
The deceased was Gulfara Nahar, wife of the late Shahidul Islam. She had been living alone in her house in Naihati village. Her son, Raihan, currently works in Dhaka as an NBR inspector, said locals.
In the morning, housemaid Shahinur Begum arrived and called out to her. However, when she found the gate open and no sound coming from inside, she became suspicious. She called the neighbours, and when they entered the house, they found Nahar’s body lying on the floor.
Last night, criminals broke into the house through a window, tied the victim’s hands and feet, and struck her on the head. She died from excessive bleeding during the attack. The criminals opened the cupboard in the house and looted cash, gold jewellery, and other valuables. However, it is not yet known exactly how much money and what items were taken, the OC said.
The body was sent to Khulna Medical College Hospital for a post-mortem. At the time of writing, preparations for filing a case at the police station were ongoing.
