Neighbours said as no one came out of their house for a long time in the morning they started knocking the door.

Getting no response, they broke the fence of their house and found their bodies lying on the floor in a pool of blood.

Rahima’s husband Gias Uddin Sheikh suspected they were killed following previous enmity over a land.
