Two women were killed in a knife attack at their home in Chattogram’s Anwara upazila late on Saturday night. The victims were identified as Anee Barua, 40, and her daughter Priyonti Barua, 16. Anee’s five-year-old son, Piyas Barua, was injured in the incident. Police recovered the bodies from their residence in Chenamoti Barua Para area near a local Buddhist temple around 11:30 p.m. on June 13.

According to neighbors, they rushed to the scene after hearing screams and found Anee and her son lying injured at the doorway, while Priyonti’s body was discovered inside the house. Anee’s husband, Sujon Barua, who works as a security guard in Chattogram city, alleged that a neighbor named Limon Barua Tejopriyo might be involved due to a financial dispute. He said his wife mentioned the suspect’s name before dying.

Anwara Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md. Junayet Chowdhury confirmed that the bodies were recovered and that an investigation is underway. Police are continuing operations to identify and arrest those responsible, and legal proceedings are in progress.
