A murder case has been filed in Chattogram over the deaths of a woman and her daughter, who were found dead inside a water tank at their home.

Mostafizur Rahman, son of the victim Monowara Begum, filed the case against unnamed suspects at Khulshi Police Station on Sunday night, said OC Sheikh Md Nasir Uddin.   

“The investigation is ongoing. We have already detained two suspects for questioning but cannot name them right now,” he told bdnews24.com.

Abdul Waris, deputy commissioner (north) of Chittagong Metropolitan Police, told bdnews24.com that several peoples are being interrogated over the case. No motive has been confirmed.

The bodies of the former Rupali Bank Principal Officer Shah Meherun Nessa Begum, 67, and her mother Monowara Begum, 94, were recovered from the Meher Manzil home in the Ambagan area on Sunday. 

Meherun Nessa lived on the ground floor of the building while the remaining three floors were under construction, police said.

The unmarried Meherun Nessa had four brothers and four sisters, some of whom live abroad. She and her mother lived alone at the house.

An initial investigation suggested that Meherun Nessa was killed after being stuck on the head while her mother was strangled to death.
