A day before, they had asked 30-year-old Hossain to return to their hometown and retrieve his personal belongings. Hossain obliged, oblivious that it was a trap. ‘His brothers beat him and locked him up in a room’, said a local source. ‘They waited to see who would come to his rescue, so they could find out the person who brought Hossain to Christianity.’
