Husband of woman allegedly murdered overseas denied bail variation
The estranged husband of Rehana Parvin, whose body was found in Bangladesh in 2024, will not be allowed to sell the three homes they owned together.
Awlad Hossain has been refused a bail variation that would allow him to sell three properties he owned with Rehana Parvin.
Ms Parvin's body was found in a small village in Bangladesh in September 2024 and Mr Hossain has been accused of forging her death certificate.
The estranged husband of a woman allegedly murdered overseas has been prohibited from selling three properties the pair owned together.
Representatives from the Australian Federal Police were present in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday, as Awlad Hossain's lawyer applied to have his bail conditions varied.
The ABC revealed last April that the AFP was investigating the suspected murder of Rehana Parvin, whose body was found buried in the yard of Mr Hossain's sister's home in Bangladesh in September 2024.
The ABC does not suggest Mr Hossain was responsible for Ms Parvin's death. There is a warrant out for his arrest in Bangladesh.

Mr Hossain was granted bail last March after being charged with forgery and uttering a forged document in relation to Ms Parvin's death certificate.
Police alleged Mr Hossain forged the certificate to transfer the pair's three Queensland properties into his name.
Magistrate Rosemary Gilbert on Thursday denied the application to allow Mr Hossain to engage in dealings with the properties, which are located in Blenheim, Lanefield and Churchable.
Prosecutor Bimal Raut had argued the application was "extraordinary", given the "nature and seriousness of the matter".
"Firstly, there is (a Bangladeshi) arrest warrant against Mr Hossain and the Australian Federal Police have an interest; they're present in court," he said.
Mr Raut said there was ongoing investigations in relation to the deceased and Mr Hossain's involvement.
"In no way should (the application) be entertained unless the charge is dismissed or withdrawn."
Defence lawyer Torik Dib said Mr Hossain was struggling financially to pay the mortgage on one of the properties, which he hoped to sell to fund his legal fees.

"He's precluded from being able to sell properties to fund legal (proceedings)," Mr Dib said.
Mr Dib said his client had a limited criminal history, apart from contraventions of a domestic violence order for which he was given community orders.
"He's a man that has lived in Australia for 20 years, he has five children … he's suffering financial hardship."
