‘Repatriation of Kamrul before Eid unlikely’
It is uncertain whether Kamrul Islam – the suspected main killer of Rajon – can be brought back from Saudi Arabia before Eid, according to Bangladesh officials in Jeddah.
"Since Saudis went on Eid holidays yesterday, it is not certain that whether we will be able to send Kamrul back home before Eid," Mokammal Hossain, counsellor (labour) at Bangladesh Consulate in Jeddah, told The Daily Star Online over phone.
Four to five people beat dead 13-year-old Rajon in Sylhet on Wednesday.
