Mírzá Yahyá’s devilish scheme: - to murder a “cousin of the Báb”

He even, as a further evidence of the enormity of his crimes, ordered that the cousin of the Báb, Mírzá ‘Alí-Akbar, a fervent admirer of Dayyán, be secretly put to death—a command which was carried out in all its iniquity. 

- Shoghi Effendi (‘God Passes By’, chapter 7)
