Woman stabbed to death by estranged husband in Malda, man stoned to death by younger brother in Cooch Behar
There have been two different murder cases in north Bengal that included family members.
Around nine o'clock on Tuesday night, a lady in Malda was stabbed, according to reports, by her husband in the Shimal neighborhood under the district's Pukhuria police station.
According to police sources, Supriya Singh, also known as Dipa, 35, wed Sujit Singh eleven years ago after a romantic relationship. The couple's kid is two years old, and their daughter is eight years old.
Relocating to Englishbazar some time ago, Supriya left her husband and kids behind in Pukhria.
She refused to go back and live with my son Sujit, working as a beautician. This caused resentment between them. The accused's father, Makhan Singh, said, "I heard my son stabbed her last night (Tuesday)."
Police sources claim that Sujit phoned Supriya on Tuesday and requested her to meet at Shimal. "Supriya was stabbed multiple times by Sujit as soon as she arrived at the location," a police source said.
Supriya was taken to Malda Medical College and Hospital with critical injuries, where she later passed away. The spouse is running away.
A formal inquiry has been opened. We are awaiting the findings from the post-mortem. The suspects are being sought after, a police officer said.
At approximately 10 p.m. on Tuesday, in Satgram village under the jurisdiction of Mathabhanga police station, a man in the Cooch Behar district is said to have been stoned to death by his younger brother.
Police sources said that victim Zakir Hossain, 40, got down with his four brothers to settle a long-standing land dispute.
"Dulal Mia, the younger brother, became irrationally angry and began throwing stones at Zakir, seriously hurting him. Doctors at Mathabhanga Subdivisional Hospital declared Zakir dead after family members rushed him there, according to family member Rabbil Hossain.
Dulal, 37, ran out of the area.
"A post-mortem was ordered for the corpse. An inquiry is underway. "We're looking for the accused," a police officer said.
