The dead were identified as Mirazul Islam, 35, son of Ainnuddin Biswas of Bamangari and Mukta Khatun, 21, daughter of Kesmot Ali of the same village in the upazila.

According to police, Mirazul, a Bangladeshi expatriate in Spain, married Mukta two years ago.

Next morning, at about 10 am, family members broke the door open and found Mirazul hanging from the ceiling and strangulated body of Mukta lying on bed.

Doctors in Kushtia general hospital said Mirazul hung himself after strangulating his wife to death.
