Rezaul Karim Reza, arrested in connection with the case filed over the murder of a female doctor at a Dhaka hotel, has told a magistrate that he killed the doctor, who was his wife, following domestic dispute.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Rashidul Alam today (August 13, 2022) recorded Reza's statement after Investigation Officer Abu Zafor Md Mahfuzul Kabir, also an inspector of Kalabagan Police Station, brought him (Reza) at the magistrate's chamber, said court sources.

He killed his wife after repeated arguments, he also said.

None of the hotel staff members assisted him in the killing, Reza added.
