Hanging body of expatriate's wife recovered in Barlekha
The hanging body of an expatriate's wife has been recovered in Barlekha upazila of Moulvibazar district. News of the recovery came on Tuesday (20 October).
The deceased woman was the wife of an expatriate, according to reports. Her name and age were not immediately available in initial reports.
Local sources said the incident caused a stir in the area once it became known, and the news spread quickly among residents nearby.
No confirmed information about the cause of death was available yet. Whether the death resulted from homicide, suicide or another cause could not be determined as of the writing of this report.
Barlekha is an expatriate-heavy upazila. Many of its residents work in countries across the Middle East and beyond, so in many families the husband lives abroad while the wife and children remain at home.
In such cases, law enforcement typically prepares an inquest report on the body, arranges an autopsy and begins an investigation to determine the actual cause of death. Further details of the investigation into this incident will be reported as they emerge.
