Police in Florida have recovered the dismembered remains of Bangladeshi student Nahida Brishti from a waterway in the Tampa Bay area. Brishti, a PhD researcher at the University of Florida, had been missing for several days. Local law enforcement confirmed the discovery late on Sunday, April 26, stating that the remains were found in Pinellas County near the St. Petersburg section of the Howard Frankland Bridge, close to Interstate 275 and Fourth Street North.

Brishti had gone missing along with another student, Jamil Limon, whose mutilated body was found on a bridge near Tampa on Friday, April 24. Following that discovery, police arrested Limon’s 26-year-old roommate, Hisham Abugaribeh, on charges of premeditated murder of both victims and possession of a weapon. Court documents indicate Limon’s body was found decomposed inside multiple black trash bags. Investigators believe Brishti’s body was disposed of in a similar manner.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the motive behind the killings, and the investigation remains ongoing.
