RELATED | Body found near the Florida bridge where body of 1 of 2 missing students was found days earlier<\/a><\/p>\n Inside, investigators discovered another set of human remains in an \u201cadvanced stage of decomposition,\u201d according to an arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n The bag was tied in a knot, in the same manner as the one containing Limon\u2019s remains. Investigators also noted the body was wearing \u201csimilar clothing based on the unique style that Nahida Bristy was last seen on video surveillance,\u201d according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n Like Limon, Bristy suffered multiple stab wounds. But the motive for the killings remains unclear. Detectives are \u201canxiously searching for that,\u201d Chronister said.<\/p>\n Bristy\u2019s family was overwhelmed with the news, her brother Zahid Pranto told CNN. \u201cPeople should not be going through this kind of situation.\u201d<\/p>\n The sheriff notified the family hours before the Friday morning news conference that the body was Bristy, Pranto said. Since then, his mother has been crying, and he\u2019s been checking his father\u2019s blood pressure closely.<\/p>\n \u201cOur internal world is upside down right now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n RELATED | Roommate charged with 2 counts of murder in death, disappearance of 2 USF students<\/a><\/p>\n Limon\u2019s roommate, Hisham Abugharbieh, is in custody and has been charged with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder with a weapon in Limon and Bristy\u2019s deaths. He also faces charges of unlawfully moving a dead body, failure to report a death with intent to conceal, tampering with physical evidence, false imprisonment and battery, in connection with Limon and Bristy\u2019s deaths, the state attorney\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n Abugharbieh, 26, will remain in detention as he awaits trial, a judge ruled Tuesday. Prosecutors had asked that he be held in jail due to the \u201cbrutal and violent nature\u201d of the alleged crimes.<\/p>\n A medical examiner\u2019s report said Limon suffered a deep stab wound to his lower back that penetrated his liver, among other wounds, according to court documents filed in Hillsborough County Court.<\/p>\n In addition to several stab wounds, Limon \u201cwas bound in front at his hands and at his ankles,\u201d Chronister said. \u201cHis legs up towards his buttocks area was almost completely severed so he could be bent together \u2026 (making) it easier to place in a trash bag. He was left on the side of the road. As gruesome as this murder was, he was literally left on the side of the highway like a piece of trash.\u201d<\/p>\n Investigators had called Bristy\u2019s family in Bangladesh last week to say they believed she may be dead, based on the amount of blood found in the apartment Limon shared with the suspect, Bristy\u2019s brother told CNN affiliate WTSP.<\/a><\/p>\n Bristy\u2019s family is working with the Bangladesh embassy to get her body back \u201cas soon as possible,\u201d Pranto said.<\/p>\n Abugharbieh was arrested the morning of April 24 at a home in Lutz, Florida, after law enforcement responded to a domestic violence incident involving a family member, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n Bristy was a doctoral student of chemical engineering at USF. She had a master\u2019s of engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and a bachelor\u2019s of science in applied chemistry and chemical engineering from the Noakhali Science and Technology University in Bangladesh, according to her LinkedIn profile<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bristy\u2019s dream \u201cwas to come back to Bangladesh, work here, do something big and contribute to society,\u201d Pranto told CNN Monday. \u201cShe was the perfect sister. She was the perfect daughter of her family.\u201d<\/p>\n Bristy and Limon \u201cwere exemplary students, building lives, creating community and contributing to our university in meaningful ways,\u201d University of South Florida President Moez Limayem said in a statement today. The university is working with authorities in their investigation, he added.<\/p>\n![\"Nahida](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cnn-tampa-bay-student-murders1.jpg\")
