The middle-aged expatriate had married a young woman just one month ago during Ramadan. But his dreams of a peaceful life were cut short when he was brutally murdered in his own home during a robbery.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Friday, April 4 in Konagram village of Talma union under Nagarkanda upazila in Faridpur. Police suspect the robbers crushed his testicles and killed him because he might have recognized them.

According to family members, Jamal had returned home with his wife from her parents’ house on Friday evening. Locals said robbers entered his house late at night. However, police and eyewitnesses confirmed nothing was stolen.

The bizarre nature of the killing has created confusion. Police said the actual motive would be clear after investigation. Jamal was the son of late Hatem Matubbar of the same village.
