A 48-year-old man was beaten to death allegedly by another man on the suspicion of having an extramarital affair with the latter's ex-wife in Chittagong city, police said.
The deceased was identified as Abu Taher, a resident of the Patenga area.
The accused has been arrested, police said on Saturday.
Kabir Hossain, officer-in-charge of Patenga police station said the accused, Abdul Jalil, divorced his wife Roushan last month over a family feud.
"Recently, Jalil, 40, went to Roushan’s house and desired his wish to remarry her.
During his visit to Roushan’s house, Jalil suspected that she was having an extra-marital affair with Taher," the OC said.
On Thursday night, Jalil, along with two of his accomplices, beat Taher mercilessly, leaving him critically injured. Taher was rushed to Chittagong Medical College and Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on Friday.
