Voicing their anger, they shouted: “We want justice” and “Brother Malkam is in the grave, why are his killers still out?”
Because many authorities in Bangladesh sympathize more with them than with the victim.
“A 91-year-old Christian villager drugged and killed in Barisal,” by Sumon Corraya, Asia News, February 2, 2022:
Barisal (AsiaNews) – Malkam D’Costa, 91, died last week at his home in Padrishibpur, a village in Barisal (south-central Bangladesh). He was the eldest member of the local Catholic community.
His lifeless body was found in the morning, killed by drugs, which were also given to five members of his family who ended up in hospital.
No one is able to say what happened. But the incident has outraged and sparked fear among local Christians who have reason to believe that it was not just a robbery gone wrong, but a deliberate attack against a Christian family.
In fact, in 2021, a neighbour of Malkam D ‘Costa was also forced to take a sleeping pill and then raped while she was alone at home. Her husband is employed as a nightwatchman at a Catholic school.
Once she regained consciousness, she filed a complaint against a Muslim man, Mohammad Alam, and Malkam D ’Costa’s son testified in her favour despite the fact that the accused’s family put pressure on him to get the charges dropped.
For this reason, the Christians in Padrishibpur believe that the killing was an act of revenge connected to the rape case.
Yesterday a hundred Christians held a protest in the village. Voicing their anger, they shouted: “We want justice” and “Brother Malkam is in the grave, why are his killers still out?”
One of the demonstrators, Andrio D’Costa, spoke to AsiaNews. “We Christians are citizens of this country, but they persecute us because we are a minority,” he said. “We want to live peacefully and see the perpetrators of this murder punished.”…

All Infidels in Bangladesh make up just a bit over 10% of the population there–all are persecuted and subject to violence there.

I want to see them punished too. Something more to pray about as this system becomes ever more evil.
Justice will prevail. It may seem to be delayed, but it will happen at the chosen time, the right time.

Bangladesh: 91-year-old Christian murdered in ‘deliberate attack against a Christian family’
………………
This *poor man*. This has been a bad day for nonegenarian victims of Islam–a 91-year-old Christian Holocaust survivor murdered by Hamas, and women in their 90s raped in Spain and Norway.
God, I hate Islam.
OLD GUY says
And the Catholic Pope is Kissing the ass of islam? Why is the Pope turning his back on Christians around the world? Is the Pope afraid of Islam/evil and hoping to protect himself and his brothers of the Vatican?
Sticking your tail between your legs and slipping off is not leading your flock it is being a coward.
