Jahanara Khatun Jannati hailed from Uttar Bholanathpur village in Chirirbandar Upazila of Dinajpur, while her husband Habibur Rahman Anik is from Dighulia Dakshinpara area in Faridpur Upazila of Pabna district. They were living in the rented house at Ashulia union of the upazila and working at a local garment factory.

"On informatiopn, police rushed to the scene and found the woman's body lying on the bed. A diary was found beside the body, but the door to the room was locked from the outside," he said.
The diary, found near the body, contained a note saying, "We are both willingly dying, no one is to blame. We are dying by our own will. I killed my wife, my wife killed me and none from this house is at fault."
The police recovered the note and the body from the scene and subsequently sent the body to a morgue for autopsy, said SI Abzalul Haque.
