Teen Re-Enacts Crime of Raping, Killing Syrian Child in Halba

A 17-year-old re-enacted on Wednesday the murder and rape of a Syrian child, 5, under the supervision of the prosecutor of the north, Judge Ghassan Bassil.

Nour Aa., who had previously confessed to the crime, re-enacted the sequence of the events.

LBCI reported that another two offenders involved in the crime, who were identified by their initials J. M. and Aa. H., were detained.

The channel said that the suspects also testified of taking drugs.

On Sunday, the father of Nour called the Halba police station to inform them that his son had killed a child and thrown his corpse in a garbage dumpster near the Halba vocational institute.

The boy was arrested at his parents house, a communique issued by the Internal Security Forces said.

It said the body of “5-year-old Syrian child Mohammed Kh.” was found in the garbage dumpster with “multiple knife stab wounds to one of his flanks.”

“The report of north Lebanon's forensic doctor said the child suffered a sexual assault and died after receiving five stabs in his right flank,” the statement said.
