Murder of Sheikh Mohammad Samiul Alam Rajon
2015 child murder in Sylhet, Bangladesh
Sheikh Mohammad Samiul Alam Rajon was a 13-year-old boy who was lynched and killed by four men on July 8, 2015, in Sylhet, Bangladesh.[1][2][3][4] The four men who killed Rajon accused him of stealing a bike shortly before lashing, torturing, and beating him to death. According to local police, Rajon died due to internal bleeding.[5] Among the suspected killers of Rajon was Kamrul Islam,[6] an individual originally deported from Saudi Arabia. Islam fled back to Saudi Arabia immediately after the killing. A three-member Bangladeshi police team in coordination with INTERPOL worked to capture Islam in Saudi Arabia.[7][8] Others involved in the incident include Nur Ahmed, who filmed the killing on social media.
