A shocking incident took place in Noakhali’s Hatiya upazila, where a woman was murdered after a robbery at her home. The victim, Amen Begum (50), was found dead with her throat slit on Wednesday night in Shatoful village under Nijhum Dwip Union.
Who Was the Victim?
Amen Begum was the wife of Md. Emran Uddin, a dried fish (shutki) trader at Nijhum Dwip local market. The couple lived together at their house, while their sons stay in Maijdee town for their studies.
What Happened That Night?
According to Amirul Momin Babul, a local leader of the Nijhum Dwip Union Volunteer Wing, Emran returned home around evening and saw his wife praying Isha (night) prayers. After that, he went back to the market.
When he came back home at around 10:30 PM, he found the main door open, and his wife was not inside the house. However, he noticed blood stains on the floor and immediately informed Amirul.
