The mortal remains of Zamil Ahamed Limon, one of the two Bangladeshi doctoral students murdered in the United States, are scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on May 4.

Golam Mortoza, Minister (Press) at the Bangladesh Embassy in the US, confirmed via WhatsApp on Thursday that Limon's body will arrive at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport aboard an Emirates flight at 8:40 am.

The remains have been received by a funeral home and are set to depart from Orlando (MCO) on May 2.

Limon’s first namaz-e-janaza is scheduled to be held today after Johr prayers at the Islamic Society of Tampa Bay Area in Florida.

However, official information regarding the repatriation of the second victim, Nahida Sultana Bristy, is not yet available.

Limon and Bristy, both 27-year-old PhD students at the University of South Florida, disappeared on April 16.

Limon was last seen at his off-campus apartment, which he shared with the murder suspect, 26-year-old Hisham Abugharbieh.

Investigators tracked Abugharbieh’s vehicle and Limon’s phone using GPS and license plate data to a bridge where Limon’s body was discovered on April 24.

According to prosecution reports, Limon had been bound and sustained numerous stab wounds.

A second body, believed to be Bristy’s, was recovered from a nearby waterway on April 26; however, official identification and autopsy results are still pending.

On Tuesday, Hillsborough County Judge Logan Murphy ordered that Abugharbieh remain in custody without bond.

The suspect, who was arrested by a SWAT team at his parents’ home, is also barred from contacting the victims' families or witnesses.

Abugharbieh faces two counts of first-degree murder with a weapon and could face the death penalty if convicted.

While the suspect initially denied involvement, investigators noted a bandaged injury on his finger during questioning.

Furthermore, a third roommate informed police that Abugharbieh was seen using a cart to move large cardboard boxes to a trash compactor on the night the victims vanished.
