On April 28th, a 26-year-old man named Hisham Abukharbi faces two counts of first-degree murder for killing two University of South Florida, doctoral students from Bangladesh. Judge Logan Murphy ordered him held without bond after a SWAT team arrested him at his parents' house. He's also banned from contacting witnesses or victims' families, and prosecutors might seek the death penalty if he's convicted. The victims, Zamiya Lyman and Nahida Bristie, both 27, vanished on April 16th and were close to getting married. Lyman's body turned up stabbed and bound under a bridge that Friday thanks to cell phone and license plate data tracking Abukharbi's car. Debidies later found a body in nearby water with autopsy results still pending. Folks are reeling from this tragedy hitting the USF community hard. The couple shared an off-campus apartment with Abukharbiya and another roommate. Investigators spotted his bandaged pinky finger during questioning plus blood trails from the kitchen to his room and soaked carpet. Search warrants revealed more. Lyman's wallet, ID,
bloody clothes in the trash, and Bristie's cart in Lyman's bedroom. Days before, Abukharbiya even asked Chad G.P.T. what happens if you bag a body and dump it in a dumpster. The AI flagged it as dangerous. Florida's Attorney General is expanding a probe into Chad G.P.T's role, now including this case after a similar one at Florida State. Open AI says they're cooperating fully with cops and sending thoughts to those hurt. Stay tuned as this unfolds. Global News Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters worldwide. I'm Cory with the story.
