Triple Murder in Rome: The Search for the Suspected Killer. Police received more than 40 tips
A chilling social media post shared just one day before a brutal triple murder in Rome is now at the center of a murder investigation.Italian police have launched a massive manhunt for Shahadat Hossain, a 43-year-old Bangladeshi man, after three members of the same family were found murdered in an apartment on the western outskirts of Rome.Investigators say attention turned to a post published on June 25 at 9.33pm, in which Hussain wrote: “A man does not die alone” and “You should die with your loved ones when you die. So that no one suffers for anyone else.”After the killings, one user responded: “You are a bad person. You are a pharaoh.”The victims were discovered in an apartment on Via Monteglio in the Aurelio district of the Casaloti area, where a mother, father and their young daughter were killed in a violent attack.
Father Kamal Al-Din, 39, his wife Arzu, 38, and their six-year-old daughter, Alicia, died at the scene. Onion, the couple’s 18-year-old son, survived, but was seriously injured and taken to Policlinico Gemelli Hospital. Doctors said that he suffers from multiple injuries and shocks, although his condition is not life-threatening.Police identified Shahadat Hossain, born in Bangladesh on May 10, 1983, as the main suspect.
Investigators have made his photo public and it has been circulated across multiple channels, including social media and WhatsApp, while authorities appeal for information. More than 40 tips have already been received.Checkpoints have been set up throughout Rome where police and carabinieri stop and search vehicles, trains and buses leaving airports. Officers are also combing abandoned buildings and rural areas on the outskirts of the capital where he may be hiding.
Investigators are examining his recent communications and movements, while mobile phone data is believed to have last identified him in the Casaloti area on the night of the murder.
The cleaver, believed to be the weapon used in the attack, was seized from the apartment.Authorities are also working to prove the suspect’s relationship with the victims. The family, originally from Bangladesh, had no known criminal record. Investigators are interviewing relatives, friends and neighbors to rebuild their social circle and determine a possible motive. Police say all possibilities remain open, including that the suspect may still be in the area or trying to flee Italy.
