ALLEGEDLY USED A GUN TO KILL ANOTHER U.S. NATIONAL
On or about June 11, 2021, GR (52), from Bronx, New York, killed MR, another U.S. national, while the two men were in Bangladesh. (And GR is alleged to have used a gun to murder the man.)
On April 4, 2024, GR was arrested for the “foreign murder of a U.S. national and one count of use, carrying, and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.” And if convicted, faces life in prison.
In a written statement, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, noted “As alleged in the indictment, the defendant, a U.S. national, murdered another U.S. national while they were both in Bangladesh …. When an American murders another American abroad, they will face serious consequences. The Criminal Division is committed to investigating and prosecuting violent crimes committed against U.S. nationals wherever they occur and holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.”
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Was MR martyred in Bangladesh?
