British mother hacked to death in Bangladesh 'was killed by relatives jealous of her wealth'

A British mother hacked to death in Bangladesh was allegedly murdered by jealous relatives who envied her wealth. Rehana Begum, 43, was on holiday when she was attacked by a gang of four men who targeted her for her jewellery and money, her family said. Mrs Begum had been on holiday in the country with her husband and 12-year-old son since July 17 when the unprovoked attack occurred. Her terrified relatives spotted the group approaching the mother-of-one with machetes, the Evening Standard reported. Mrs Begum's cousin Sheela Ali, 33, from Hackney, said: 'Rufia shouted at them, "What are you doing?" One of them attacked her and stabbed her in the head and the arms.' Mrs Begum is believed to have told her sister to flee the group. The alleged attackers also targeted Mrs Begum's nieces and nephew who tried to defend her and then fled the grisly scene. One 15-year-old niece allegedly had her right hand sliced off by the gang.
