A housewife named Sumaiya Akter Sumi confessed in court to killing private tutor Morium Begum in Chapainawabganj. Her statement was recorded under Section 164 by Senior Judicial Magistrate Md Ashraful Islam on Wednesday evening. Police confirmed the confession on Thursday morning. Sumi admitted that she struck Morium with a wooden stick and later suffocated her to death. The victim’s body was found on May 19 inside a sack at Sumi’s home in the Namoshonkorbati area.
According to Additional Superintendent of Police ANM Wasim Firoz, Morium used to tutor Sumi’s child and had asked to borrow money to buy a laptop. When Sumi could not lend the money, Morium gave her gold earrings to sell. Sumi sold them for 12,000 taka and spent part of the money, leading to an argument that ended in the killing. Police also arrested Sumi’s husband Rubel, her father-in-law Anwar Hossain, and goldsmith Dipak Saha, who admitted to buying the earrings.
Police recovered the wooden stick, the earrings, and 7,500 taka from the sale proceeds as evidence.
