Bangladesh Police with the assistance of the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) brought back Kamrul Islam on Thursday.
Kamrul, who fled to Saudi Arabia on July 10, was caught by expatriate Bangladeshis in Jeddah on July 13 and handed over to the police after they came to know about a video on Facebook. The video showed how 13-year-old boy Samiul Alam Rajon was beaten to death in Sylhet’s Kumargaon area by Kamrul and his cohorts on July 8, falsely accusing him of stealing a rickshaw van.
Rajon was brutally tortured in front of a workshop near Sultan Ali Market beside Dhaka-Sunamganj road. His father filed the murder case.
So far, 35 prosecution witnesses out of 38 have testified in the case at the Sylhet Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court. The trial began on October 1.
