The incident occurred in the upazila's Moshinda area around 10:30 pm on Friday, said Baraigram Police Station chief Abu Siddique.
The victim is Priya Khatun (22), an employee at Ishwardi EPZ. She, along with her one-year-old daughter, had been living at her parents' home after divorcing her husband.
"Priya was on her way home from work when the perpetrators attacked her with sharp weapons, leaving her dead on the spot. The locals gathered at the scene after hearing the driver's screams. Law enforcers recovered her body afterwards," Siddique said, citing witnesses.
"Police could not immediately confirm the motive behind the murder. They are questioning the driver over the incident."
Legal action will be taken and efforts are underway to arrest the attackers, Siddique added.
