Housewife killed for dowry


A newly married woman was slaughtered allegedly by her husband for dowry at Kauriakandi village in Baniachang on Friday night.

The victim was identified as Yasmin Akhter, 20, wife of Shamim. They got married only one and a half months ago.

But her husband and in-laws always tortured her asking her to bring dowry from her father.

On Friday night, Shamim tortured her again and at one stage slaughtered her as she refused to comply, local people said.
