UPDATE: First Update to a Gruesome Post about a Gruesome Murder on McDonald Avenue
Landlord and store owner Mahiuddin Mahmud was murdered this morning in a basement apartment in the building he owned. The store is located at 546 McDonald Avenue,
between Church Avenue and Avenue C, in Kensington.
Police suspect the tenant who lived in the apartment and who has disappeared.
At about 12:25 a.m., police found
the victim either "unconscious and unresponsive" or already dead. They
were there in response to a 911 call of an assault in progress.
With
my apologies for these words: Mahiuddin Mahmud (possibly spelled
Mahuddin Mahmood) had deep lacerations to his throat that almost
decapitated him, a bashed head, and a burned face.
The
57-year-old Mr. Mahmud lived on Westminster Road. He immigrated "from a
small island in Bangladesh" and "was the father of two young boys." He
will be buried in Bangladesh.
A
surveillance camera is going to be checked. Nobody has been arrested,
but the tenant of Mr. Mahmud's who lived in that apartment is a person
of interest. He has disappeared.
