According to eyewitnesses and family members, Suman married Mitu about eight months ago. It was the second marriage for both of them. Mitu had previously been married and had three children from that marriage. Since their wedding, the couple had reportedly been locked in frequent quarrels and domestic disputes.
A few days ago, following a fight, Mitu left and went to her father's house. She was brought back home just yesterday and around 2am last night, Suman attacked her with a sharp cleaver, striking her on various parts of the body and the neck, killing her on the spot. He later voluntarily surrendered at the police station.
Munshiganj Sadar Police Station Officer-in-Charge Saiful Alam said, "Suman Mia confessed to killing his wife after walking into the police station. The body has been recovered and sent to Munshiganj General Hospital morgue for autopsy."
