Four members of a family have been brutally hacked to death over a land dispute in Mymensingh’s Nandail Upazila.
The murders took place at the Upazila’s Bashanti village around 10:30pm on Friday, said Nandail police OC Syed Abdullah.
The deceased are Belal Hossain, 50, his sons ‘Farid’, 25, ‘Himel’, 14, and ‘Pavel’, 10.
Belal and his elder brother Lal Miah have been at loggerheads over possession of pieces of ancestral land for a long time, Abdullah told bdnews24.com.
He said Lal Miah and his people attacked Belal’s house after Esha prayers and fled after murdering the four with sharp weapons.
Belal and Pavel were inside the house when they came under attack while the other two were killed right outside their home, the police officer added.
OC Abdullah said they had recovered the bodies from the crime scene.
