Sheikh Russel, the youngest son of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and youngest brother of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, was born on October 18 in 1964 at Dhanmondi 32 in Dhaka which is now known as ‘Bangabandhu Memorial Museum or Bangabandhu Bhaban’.
Russel was brutally killed along with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangamata Begum Fazilatunnesa Mujib, his two elder brothers Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal and their most of the family members and close relatives on the fateful night of 15 August in 1975 by a group of disgruntled army men.
He was then only 10 years of old and a grade four student at University Laboratory School.
Bangabandhu’s two daughters – incumbent Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana – survived the carnage as they were in Germany at that time.
