Jashore: A woman was allegedly killed by her daughter in Jashore’s Keshabpur municipality late Mon-day night.
The deceased was identified as Gouri Rani, 72, wife of late Kalipada Adhikari of Shahapara area in Keshabpur.
According to local sources, Gouri’s daughter Dipti Adhikari, 48, wife of late Tarun Adhikari of Nagar-ghop area in neighboring Monirampur upazila, had come to visit her mother three to four days ago.
Dipti is reportedly mentally sick.
On Tuesday morning, Dipti’s brother-in-law Pabitra Adhikari, went to the house to take her back to her in-laws’ home. When he went upstairs, he found Gouri Rani lying dead on the floor, while Dipti was sitting naked in the bathroom nearby.
Locals suspect that Dipti struck her mother on the forehead and back of the head with a kitchen cutting tool (boti) during the night, causing severe bleeding that led to her death on the spot. Parts of the sharp weapon were found lying beside the body.
On information, police recovered the body on Tuesday afternoon and detained the accused daughter.
Confirming the matter, Shahidul Islam, inspector of Keshabpur Police Station, said police also recovered parts of the cutting tool from the spot.
He added that the accused is reportedly mentally unstable and legal steps are underway in this regard.
