A Bangladeshi man living in an asylum center in Switzerland was arrested on October 27 after his Burundian roommate's dismembered body was found near the Rhine river banks in Stein, close to Basel. The victim had been reported missing by acquaintances on October 24, and a human leg was discovered the following day. Police later uncovered additional bags containing other body parts along the river and shore areas. The public prosecutor's office confirmed that the body had been cut into pieces and deposited in garbage bags. During searches of the asylum center, evidence pointed to the 43-year-old Bangladeshi suspect who shared a room with the victim. While ongoing investigations continue to determine the exact details of the crime, there is currently no indication of political or religious motives involved.
