This is the Horrifying Way Atheist Blogger Niloy Neel Was Killed in Bangladesh

August 24, 2015
by Hemant Mehta

Earlier this month, 40-year-old Niloy Chatterjee (who wrote under the name Niloy Neel) became the fourth atheist blogger this year to be killed in Bangladesh.

We knew the basics of how he died. Several assassins burst into his home and practically decapitated him. But we didn’t know the details. We didn’t know what Neel was doing in the moments before his death. We didn’t know his wife watched it all unfold, unable to stop it.

The Globe and Mail spoke with Neel’s wife, Asa Moni, and they’ve published the very-graphic and highly-disturbing details of what went down. It’s not for the faint of heart.

For three nights after Mr. Chatterjee died, (Moni) screamed into the darkness, plagued by images of the attack.

I have personally been subjected to hysterical behavior by such a person. It can be a bit distressing to see them become so overwhelmed with fear and panic. Over an idea.
