Roommate charged with murder of 2 Bangladeshi PhD students in US

Hisham Abugharbieh, 26, a former student at the University of South Florida, faces two counts of first-degree premeditated murder involving a weapon in connection with the deaths of Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, both pursuing PhDs at USF. Limon's body was discovered on the Howard Frankland bridge on Friday morning, while Bristy is still unaccounted for. Abugharbieh was arrested at his family's residence on Friday, facing initial charges such as unlawfully moving a corpse, failing to report a death, tampering with evidence, false imprisonment, and battery. He appeared in court in Tampa on Saturday and was ordered to be held without bond, with a hearing scheduled for April 28. No attorney is listed for him in online court records. Police found Abugharbieh after responding to a domestic violence call, where he had barricaded himself.
