Robbers killed a Bangladeshi stationary shop owner in Johannesburg, South Africa, Thursday and looted valuables from the shop.
The robbers swooped on Iqbal Haji’s Iqbal Stationery in the suburbs of Johannesburg around 10:30pm (local time). They stabbed Iqbal to death, his elder brother Jasim Uddin Bhuiyan said.
Iqbal, son of Shamsul Haque of 98, Uttar Kajlarpar of Jatrabari, Dhaka, had been running his business in South Africa for a year and a half. His younger brother Kamal Hossain is also staying in South Africa.
Jasim Uddin Bhuiyan said robbers had also attacked the shop six months ago and injured Iqbal.
Iqbal left behind his wife Sumi Akhter.
Sumi, who lives in Dhaka, demanded punishment of the culprits and immediate steps to bring Iqbal’s body home.
