A woman and her three daughters were hacked to death in Raipur upazila of Lakshmipur on Thursday, June 25, 2026. The attacker, identified as Antor Majumder, was beaten by an angry crowd and later died from his injuries. Police Superintendent Md Abu Tarek and health officer Dr Baharul Alam confirmed the deaths. The victims were Shahinur Begum, 38, and her daughters Saima Akter, 21, Ikra Akter, 17, and Shifa Akter, 9. All were taken to Raipur Upazila Health Complex, where three were declared dead, and the fourth died en route to Dhaka.

According to police and local sources, Shahinur’s family had lived in a rented house in Raipur for over a decade after her husband’s death in 2019. The attacker, a fruit vendor from Noakhali’s Subarnachar area, had previously rented a nearby house. He reportedly entered the victims’ home under the pretext of fixing a water pipe. Police said the motive for the killings remains unclear.

During the mob attack on the suspect, six to seven police officers were injured while trying to control the situation. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident.
