Police have recovered the decomposed body of a woman from a flat in Jurain under Dhaka’s Kadamtali, where she had been living with her husband.
The victim, 27-year-old Sharmin Akter Shelly, was identified as an Ansar member by Kadamtali police.
Her body was sent to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for a postmortem examination on Sunday night.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Moshahidul Islam said the incident came to light after a call to the national emergency service 999.
On Sunday afternoon, police reached a fourth-floor flat on Jurain Commissioner Road and found the door locked from outside, with a strong, foul smell coming from inside.
“After breaking the lock in the presence of locals, we found the partially decomposed body of a woman lying on the floor,” the SI said.
The body bore several sharp weapon injuries, leading investigators to believe she was murdered before the killer locked the door and fled.
The police officer said the woman’s husband could not be found since the incident. They are looking for him.
An identity card recovered from the flat confirmed the victim’s identity as an Ansar member, he added.
The landlord, Anjuara Dolly, told police that the couple had been living in the flat as husband and wife for around seven to eight months.
