‘Can a neighbor hear a gunshot?’: Chilling forensic details emerge in murders of two Bangladeshi students in US

'Can a neighbor hear a gunshot?': Chilling forensic details emerge in murders of two Bangladeshi students in US

The alleged murder case of two Bangladeshi students in the US took a grisly turn after Nahida Sultana Bristy’s body was found and the investigators gave minute details of how they cracked the case of the mysterious disappearance of two students from the campus of the University of South Florida. Bristy’s body was found days after her friend Zamil Ahmed Limon’s body was recovered. The investigation is going on as the bodies have been sent to Bangladesh for the last rites.

Forensic technique revealed hidden blood stain

Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister called it a monstrous crime as Hisham Saleh Abugharbieh, the accused, who was a roommate of Limon, planned the murders, executed them, and then removed all traces.Limon’s body was found stuffed inside a trash bag left on the shoulder of the Howard Frankland Bridge.

Bristy’s remains were found in a garbage bag from Tampa Bay when a kayaker reported smelling something indescribable and found remains of a human body inside an open plastic bag.Both of them, who were believed to be in a relationship, went missing on April 17. Their friends and family members reported this as unusual as both of them were very responsible. Detectives visited the apartment Limon shared with Abugharbieh and a third roommate. The sheriff disclosed that while one roommate cooperated fully, Abugharbieh gave evasive and contradictory answers. Investigators saw he had a laceration on his left pinky and a deep cut on the back of his left arm that should have required stitches—wounds he could not explain and that detectives believe were defensive injuries, the sheriff said.A cooperative roommate later told investigators that Abugharbieh had used a large cart to move items out of his room to the trash compactor overnight on April 16 and 17. Acting on that tip, detectives searched the compactor and found Limon’s glasses, student ID, wallet, and clothing—all heavily soaked in blood.The sheriff said that this was the first point where investigators shunned all other theories like the duo escapes to get married etc and realized that they were not only two missing persons, but two missing persons in danger.Chronister said the forensic used the Bluestar technology and found blood in the outline of a human body curled in a fetal position on the floor behind Abugharbieh’s bed. Blood traces were also found in his car.

‘Can a neighbor hear a gunshot?’

Abugharbieh wiped his phone’s search history, but forensic examination revealed that days before the disappearances, Abugharbieh searched phrases like “Can a knife penetrate a skull?” and “Can a neighbor hear a gunshot?” He also ordered heavy-duty black contractor bags, Lysol wipes, duct tape, lighter fluid, and a lighter, some through Amazon, others through DoorDash. “This was calculating. That’s what makes this so premeditated,” Chronister said.The motive of the killing has not yet been established and the accused did not react after his arrest either. Go to Source
