Machete-wielding assailants hacked to death a village doctor and wounded a university teacher in western Bangladesh in what police suspect was the latest in a series of attacks by hardline groups in the country.

The attackers on Friday rode a motorcycle which they used to block another motorbike driven by their victims in the western district of Kushtia, 245km from Dhaka, local police chief Mohammad Sahabuddin Chowdhury said.
