Anwar Hossain and wife of Rajib, mother of one child from Lemupara village of the upazila and sent it to Patuakhali Medical College Hospital for post-mortem. The deceased housewife has a one-and-a-half-year-old baby daughter. Since the deceased housewife had a black mark on her neck and her husband was absconding, police suspected it to be murder since the incident.
