The deceased has been identified as Manik Azam Shajal, 43, a resident of Feni's Daganbhuiyan upazila.
After receiving information, the law enforcers in South Africa recovered Shajal's body.
Quoting family, the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Daganbhuiyan police station Hasan Imam said that the deceased was living in South Africa for over 18 years and was the former general secretary of the Bangladeshi community of the area.
Meanwhile, quoting Shajal's younger brother Faisal Shajib, the OC said that Sajal had a conflict with a local shopkeeper, but the matter was settled by the people of the community.
