A woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her husband in the capital’s Adabar area Monday night.

The victim is identified as Chandana Begum, 22, of Pirganj upazila in Rangpur while her suspected killer husband is Saju Hossain, of Bogra.

Saju, a garment worker, rented a room at Road No. 3 of Shekhertek this month, said Anwar Hossain, a sub-inspector (SI) of Adabar Police Station.

Saju stabbed Chandana indiscriminately around 11:00pm Monday at their rented house, the SI said.

The SI suspected that family feud might be the reason behind the killing.

Saju, however, managed to escape the scene immediately after the killing, the SI added.

Being informed by the other tenants of the house, police recovered the body around 1:00am Tuesday and sent it to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy.
