Boy, 13, Begs For Life As He Was Beaten To Death By Laughing Attackers In Bangladesh [Video]
A gruesome video shows the last moments of a 13-year-old boy begging for his life and water before his laughing attackers beat him to death, according to BBC News.
It was reported that after Samiul Alam Rajon of Bangladesh allegedly stole a bicycle from the northeastern city of Sylhet, residents in the area became irate and wanted to teach him a lesson.

However, the boy’s family claimed that he wasn’t a thief.
His father, Sheikh Azizur Rahman, told reporters at the Dhaka Tribune that Rajon dropped out of school to support the family by selling vegetables – he had no reason to steal.
But on July 8, several men were seen beating the boy with sticks in a 28-minute video, which went viral after being uploaded on social media. The young lad who was tied to a pole could be heard crying and begging for his life. They later untied him from the pole and he could be heard asking for water, but one of his attackers told him to drink his own sweat.

An unidentified man from the crowd added, “His bones are okay. Beat him some more.”
The beatings continued until the boy was dead. According to the Independent, 22-year-old Muhit Alam then took his body and tried to dump it in a secluded area.
An autopsy report indicated that the teen died from a brain hemorrhage, which was a result of sustaining 64 injuries to his body during the violent attack.
Five people have been arrested thus far in the vicious attack on a child, including Alam, and his 24-year-old brother Kamrul Islam; Ali Haider, 34; Moyna Miah, 45; and the wife of one of the attackers
