A 28-year-old woman was beaten to death allegedly by her husband over a family dispute in Naogaon’s Manda upazila on Saturday, police said.

The victim, Nice Parveen, was the wife of Ekramul Haque of Chauja Uttarpara village and mother of one child.

Father of the deceased Kofil Uddin Molla said his daughter was married to Ekramul, son of Yad Ali of Chauja Uttarpara village, about 11 years ago. He said his son-in-law had been torturing his daughter since the start of the marriage for various family matters.

“Due to these disputes, Ekramul and his family members beat my daughter to death,” he alleged.

Mazer Ali, a neighbor of the accused Ekramul Haque, said that there was an altercation between the husband and wife due to delay in cooking lunch and Ekramul started beating his wife.
