Police recovered the bodies of a woman and her five-year-old son from their home in Rajshahi's Puthia upazila on Sunday.
Shantona Begum, 28, was married to Mohammad Ali of Maipara village and Zihad was their only child, police said.
Police recovered the bodies around 5:30pm on Sunday from the house, said Masud Rana, sub-inspector (SI) of Puthia police station.
The deceased's husband Muhammad Ali, a day labourer, said he left home in the morning. When he returned home, he found the door locked from inside.

He said that when he was going to work in the morning, everything seemed normal. “I have no idea why this happened,” he added.
On information, police rushed to the spot and recovered the bodies.
It is initially being suspected that Shantona committed suicide.
