Rome Family Massacre: Killer Hossain, Politically Connected? He boasted of political contacts in Bangladesh

Police are searching for Shahadat Hossain, 43, in connection with a brutal family slaying in Rome's Casalotti district. Hossain allegedly killed his sister, eight-year-old Islam Arowa, his mother Jahan Hosne Momotay, and his father Kamal with a cleaver on Friday evening. He is also accused of attempting to attack his 20-year-old son, Amir Hossain Uddin Babul, who survived the attack thanks to the intervention of residents.

Amir, the sole survivor, is in stable but delicate condition at Policlinico Gemelli hospital, recovering from surgery for a fractured skull and hematoma. Police are guarding his room as a precaution. Investigators are exploring multiple motives, including Hossain's alleged harassment of his wife and financial demands on the family. A relative suggested that Hossain might have been seeking money from the family, potentially leading to the attack if he feared being reported.

My Country is better in care. I waited four hours to see a doctor, these are the humanitarian countries.

Hossain is described as a controversial figure in the neighborhood. He was known for his alleged attempts to approach Kamal's wife, who reportedly rejected him. A former colleague on social media called him "a bad and violent man with women." His alleged political aspirations also draw attention. Hossain frequently posted on Facebook about his ties to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, sharing photos with party leaders in Bangladesh and Italy, and identifying himself as responsible for the party's organization.

Adding to the complexity, Hossain had recently posted critical comments about Italian healthcare, comparing it unfavorably to his home country. He also commented on a separate tragedy in Bangladesh, advocating for the death penalty for perpetrators of similar crimes. Police are actively searching for Hossain, whose phone was last active in the Casalotti area on the night of the murders. They suspect he may have discarded his phone and is hiding in the surrounding countryside, or possibly receiving assistance from acquaintances intimidated by his alleged influence.
