The estranged husband of an Australian woman, who police suspect was murdered overseas, has been charged in Brisbane after allegedly forging her death certificate.<\/p>\n

A Brisbane court heard that Awlad Hossain allegedly forged his wife Rehana Parvin’s death certificate to transfer their three Queensland properties into his name.<\/p>\n

The ABC revealed last April that the Australian Federal Police was investigating the suspected murder of the mother of five, whose body was found in September 2024 in a small village in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Mr Hossain was granted bail last March after being charged with forgery and uttering a forged document in relation to Ms Parvin’s death certificate.<\/p>\n

In the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday, defence lawyer Torik Dib argued that the death certificate was not forged, and it was a legitimate government document from Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Mr Dib sought an adjournment for a bail application due to the complexities of the case.<\/p>\n

He said he would apply to change the bail conditions that prevent the 49-year-old from selling properties owned by the husband and wife.<\/p>\n

“It’s a bit complicated of a bail variation because the crux of it is related to the political climate overseas,” Mr Dib said.<\/p>\n

“The government’s closed there, and there’s a shutdown and so on.”<\/p>\n

Court documents, seen by the ABC, say the bail conditions apply to three properties jointly owned by Ms Parvin and Mr Hossain in Blenheim, Lanefield and Churchable.<\/p>\n

The documents said it was alleged that Mr Hossain, who works as a welder, forged a death certificate last January “with intent to defraud”.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Jordan Theed said the bail matter was “linked with other factors” in Bangladesh “in terms of whether (Mr Hossain) was involved in the death” of Ms Parvin.<\/p>\n

The court heard on Thursday that three of Mr Hossain\u2019s relatives in Bangladesh had been charged in relation to Ms Parvin\u2019s alleged murder.<\/p>\n

In August 2024, Ms Parvin’s mother reported her missing and lodged a case with local police, accusing four people including her estranged husband Awlad Hossain, of kidnapping her.<\/p>\n

Police have since identified a fifth person of interest.<\/p>\n

Mr Hossain travelled to Bangladesh on June 29 and returned to Australia on July 13.<\/p>\n

Bangladeshi police have issued an arrest warrant for Mr Hossain, but he has not been charged there, or in Australia, over the death.<\/p>\n

The ABC does not suggest that he had any involvement in Ms Parvin’s suspected murder or disappearance.<\/p>\n

Mr Dib said he was waiting on documents from a lawyer in Bangladesh for the bail application.<\/p>\n

He said Mr Hossain could not appear in court as he worked five days a week and the repayments on the three properties were becoming “an issue.”<\/p>\n

“Perhaps there’s a resolution such as it could be sold and placed into a trust account,” Mr Dib said.<\/p>\n

Mr Theed said the sale of the properties would likely be opposed by the prosecution.<\/p>\n

The bail application was adjourned to June 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The estranged husband of an Australian woman, who police suspect was murdered overseas, has been charged in Brisbane…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7512,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[22,21,8829,8827,1109,8316,8828,8826],"class_list":["post-7511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-austrlia","tag-awlad-hossain","tag-bangladesh","tag-court","tag-doha","tag-forgery","tag-rehana-parvin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
