A woman allegedly committed suicide leading her husband to do the same by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in their Mirpur house in the capital yesterday afternoon.
Motahar, 40, a vegetable vendor; and his wife Shiuly, 30 -- left three children Arif, 16, Mukta, 10, and Abid, 5, said police.
It was apparently over family feud, Darussalam Police Station Officer-in-Charge Selimuzzaman told The Daily Star.
Motahar killed himself after bringing down his wife's body, he added.
Locals found out after rushing in hearing Abid's screams.
The bodies were sent to Dhaka Medical College morgue for autopsy.
