Police recovered the bodies of a woman and her two minor children, all with their throats slit, from a house in Bhaluka upazila of Mymensingh this morning.
The deceased were identified as Moyna Begum, 25, a garment worker and wife of one Rafiquddin, and their daughter Raisa, 4, and son Nirab, 2.
Moyna lived with her children in a rented house in Ward-7 of Bhaluka municipality. This morning, neighbours called police after spotting blood near the house.
A police team rushed to the spot and broke into the house to find the bodies lying in a pool of blood.
"We recovered the three bodies with their throats slit," said Humayun Kabir, officer-in-charge of Bhaluka Police Station.
"We are yet to confirm how and when the murders took place. We suspected that the woman's brother-in-law, Nazrul Islam, is behind the murders," he said.
The motive behind the killings remains unclear.
