<i>Poverty-hit mother cries for bringing back expat son's body</i>
The poverty-stricken mother could not bring back home the body of her expatriate son, who was killed in Saudi Arabia, due to lack of money.
Family sources said he was stabbed to death by a group of terrorists on December 17 last year while he was driving at Al-Khamij city.
Identified as Aktar Hossain, son of late Khorshed Ali Sheikh, of Magurapara of Jhenidah Sadar upazila, the victim was working there as a driver.
Since the incident, his body was kept at Al-Madani Hospital under Al-Sulail Police Station in Riyadh. But the victim's mother was unable to bring her son's body for want of money.
Fatema Begum said her son went to Saudi Arabia with a driving visa and was working as a driver there under the ownership of Sayed Mokash Shaharali.
The family is not in a position to bring back the body as they are extremely poor, she said, adding that though they applied to the director of manpower and Karmasangsthan Bureau, they did not get any reply.
