Her family said Ansar s body was unrecognisable when it was repatriated back to Bangladesh seven months later.
Abiron’s Death in KSA: Family demands justice, rejects settlement
A Saudi court has rejected the bail petitions of three accused arrested in a case filed for the murder of a Bangladeshi domestic worker in Saudi Arabia two years ago.
Abiron Begum Ansar, who went to Saudi Arabia in 2017, was tortured allegedly at her employer s house and killed on March 24, 2019. Her body was kept in a mortuary there for seven months before arrival in the country.
During a hearing on Wednesday, the Criminal Court-6 in Riyadh asked the accused to submit a written reply in this regard. The family of Abiron, through their representatives, told the court that they wanted Qisas or similar punishment if her murder was proven in court.
