The arrested man, Mohammad Nahid Hossain (26), is from Rajapur village in Khulna district and is the son of the late Khalil Mia. Nahid works as a furniture craftsman. According to local sources, Nahid and Rina got married four years ago, and they have a son. About 10 to 15 days ago, Nahid came to his father-in-law's house with his wife and son.
On the night of the incident, Nahid returned home intoxicated after taking an excessive amount of sleeping pills. This led to a quarrel and physical altercation between him and his wife, Rina. In a fit of rage, Nahid stabbed his wife in the chest. The excessive bleeding led to Rina's death at the scene.
