A woman and her 16-year-old daughter have been hacked to death in their own home in Chattogram's Anwara upazila.

The incident occurred in Purba Konnara village in Paroiakora Upazila on Saturday night, police said.

The dead were Annie Barua, 40, and her daughter Priyanti Barua.

Anniei's five-year-old child was also injured in the attack, but the injuries are not critical, said Mahmudul Hasan, assistant superintendent of Chattogram District Police (Anwara Circle).

The police official said that Annie's husband Sujon Barua works as a guard in Chattogram city and she lived at home with her two children.

The police official said unknown perpetrators entered the home at night and slashed at the two with sharp weapons.
