Police in Gazipur’s Kapasia recovered the bodies of five people, including a woman, her brother, and three children, from a rented house in Rautkona village on Saturday morning, May 9, 2026. The victims were allegedly killed by the woman’s husband, Forkan Mia, who fled after the incident. Forkan, a private car driver, had been living with his family in the ground floor of expatriate Monir Hossain’s house. The murders are believed to have occurred late Friday night.

A typed but unsigned document found near the bodies accused Forkan’s in-laws of misappropriating ten lakh taka, suggesting a financial dispute. Police sources said Forkan had ongoing family conflicts and had recently assaulted his wife. Local witnesses described the gruesome scene, with the victims’ throats slit and the mother’s body tied to a window grill. Law enforcement agencies including PBI, DB, and CID have begun a joint investigation to determine the motive.

Local political leaders and officials visited the site and expressed condolences. Police have sent the bodies for autopsy and launched multiple teams to arrest the fugitive suspect.
