An elderly woman was allegedly killed by farm workers in Chandina upazila of Cumilla early Sunday, May 3, 2026. According to local reports, four laborers from Rangpur, who had come to harvest paddy, are accused of suffocating 75-year-old house owner Samiran Begum to death at her home in Olipur village under Suhilpur Union. After the killing, the suspects reportedly fled with gold ornaments and about 70,000 taka in cash.
The incident occurred amid a shortage of local harvest workers caused by heavy rainfall, prompting farmers in Chandina to hire laborers from Rangpur. The victim’s son stated that five workers had been brought in four days earlier, but one fled the previous evening after stealing a mobile phone. The remaining four allegedly committed the murder and robbery that night.
Chandina Police Station Officer-in-Charge Atikur Rahman said the matter is under investigation and legal action will be taken against those responsible.
