After all legal formalities have been completed, the mortal remains of Bangladeshi PhD student Jamil Ahmed Limon, who was killed in Tampa, Florida, have been transported to Bangladesh from Orlando International Airport. 

On the evening of May 2, Limon's body was transported from Orlando International Airport, as indicated by an official statement from the foreign ministry.

Bangladesh Consul General in Miami, Sehely Sabrin, and Consul Thoing A remained present at the airport and supervised the entire repatriation process.

The body is expected to arrive at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 8:40am on May 4 via Dubai.

Following the recovery of Limon's body on April 25, the Bangladesh Embassy in Washington, D.C., and the Bangladesh Consulate General in Miami, in coordination with the victim's family, authorities of the University of South Florida, local expatriate Bangladeshis in Tampa, and the relevant police department, completed all local legal procedures and took steps for the earliest possible repatriation.

Limon's funeral prayers were held on April 30 after Zuhr prayers at the Islamic Society of Tampa Bay Area Mosque. 

Students of the University of South Florida, family members, consular officials, media representatives, and local expatriate Bangladeshis attended the janaza.

Meanwhile, on May 1, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office confirmed the identification of the body of another Bangladeshi student, Nahida Sultana Bristy.

On May 3 (Sunday), Ghulam Mortuza, Press Minister at the Embassy of Bangladesh in Washington, D.C., said in a Facebook post that the process of repatriating the body of Nahida Sultana Brishti to Bangladesh is underway.

He further said that Brishti’s first funeral prayer will be held in Tampa at 2:00 pm on May 6. The Consulate General of Bangladesh in Miami is coordinating the entire process under the supervision of the embassy in Washington, D.C.

SUSPECT ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER

Hisham Abugharbeh, an American national and Limon's roommate, was arrested on 24 April—the same day police recovered Limon's dismembered body near the Howard Frankland Bridge over Tampa Bay. He faces two counts of premeditated first-degree murder with a weapon. A Hillsborough County court denied bail on 28 April, remanding him to custody.

Court documents filed on 26 April stated that multiple stab wounds killed Limon. Investigators searching a waste site linked to the suspect found a blood-stained black floor mat, Bristy's phone cover, and Limon's wallet, glasses, and bloodied clothing. The suspect's vehicle had been recently cleaned, authorities said.

Bristy's remains were later recovered in fragments from a waterway adjacent to I-275 and Fourth Street North, according to police. DNA analysis confirmed a match with evidence found at the suspect's residence.
