SAMIUL MURDER : Prime suspect Kamrul brought back from Saudi Arabia
Kamrul Islam, the prime suspect in the sensational killing of 13-year-old boy Samiul Alam Rajon, was brought back to Sylhet from Saudi Arabia on Thursday evening.
Sylhet Metropolitan Police additional deputy commissioner Rahmat Ullah, a member of the three-member team of police that went to Saudi Arabia to bring back Kamrul, confirmed New Age that Kamrul was brought back to the city at about 8:45pm.
The three-member team led by additional deputy inspector general Mahbubul Karim reached Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka in the afternoon along with Kamrul from Saudi Arabia, police officials said.
Kamrul was taken to Sylhet from Dhaka by road, they said.

The police team, which included Sylhet district police assistant superintendent AFM Nizam Uddin, went to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on October 12 to bring back Kamrul with the help of Interpol.
