An elderly woman reportedly died mysteriously in Cumilla's Daudkandi upazila on Monday.
The dead was Rashida Begum, 65, wife of late Ali Arshad Mia, of village Nurpur's Paschim Para under Daudkandi municipality.
Police recovered her body from her house around 2 pm.
Sahab Uddin, younger son of the deceased, said, ''I was coming home from Gouripur. Neighbor Kohinur Akter called me over phone and said come home quickly, your mother has been killed and things have been taken away. I reached home and saw that everything in the house was messed up. Mother is lying on the floor.''
''We have no enemies. Someone killed my mother to take the gold ornaments'', Sahab alleged.
Cumilla police Assistant Superintendent (Daudkandi Circle) Enayet Kabir Soeb visited the spot.
He told The Daily Observer that several police teams have started working to unravel the mystery of the incident. The body of the deceased has been sent to Cumilla Medical College Hospital for autopsy.
