Housewife's body found

 

COOCH BEHAR, Oct. 13: Police recovered the body of a housewife from her residence at Moamari village in Dewanhat under Cooch Behar Kotowali police station this morning. The police found the body in a pool of blood with an opened throat and gagged with socks. A blood stained sharp weapon was also found from the spot but no one was arrested till now.

 

It was learnt that returning from a neighbour's house the 8-year-old son of Amina Bibi found his mother's body lying in a pool of blood last night. Amina's brother, Md Manik Mian, lodged a complaint to the police against her husband Khabir Mian and two other in-laws. The accused three however have been absconding since the crime committed.

 

Amina Bibi was a cooking helper of a local NGO engaged in a primary school. Her husband Khabir Mian goes out very often to seek jobs and comes back occasionally. Two days ago he returned. Amina's uncle Md Rajab Ali Mian told the police that there was a family dispute between Amina and her husband. They reportedly quarrelled very often. It was a pre-planned murder, he suspects. Police sent the body for post-mortem and started an inquiry into the incident. It is suspected that the husband may have stabbed her on her throat after gagging her mouth with socks. []
