A woman was reportedly hacked to death by her husband in Narayanganj's Rupganj upazila on Saturday morning over an alleged extramarital affair.
The incident occurred in the Tetlabo area of the upazila.
The deceased was identified as Roksana Begum, daughter of Sahjahan Howlader, hailed from Barguna district. Her husband is from Barishal district. They were living in a rented house in Rupganj.
According to locals, Roksana married to Nuruzzaman nine years ago. They had been residing in the area because Nuruzzaman worked in a local garment factory.
