5-3-2019
Local media reported on March 2 that the ISF State Security squad in Baalbaq found the body of a Syrian woman refugee, Hala Mhamad Ahmad, 15, tossed in a cloth with bruises on face along the road of the town of Housh Tal Safiya. This comes one week after the discovery of the body of an Ethiopian migrant domestic worker washed ashore the Antelias coast east of Beirut. Civil defense rushed to the scene and transferred the body to the Baalbaq government hospital after the forensic doctor revealed the victim’s death was the result of a severe blow on the head with a sharp object. Investigation was opened into the murder, pointing to the possible involvement of the husband, A.M, Syrian national, in the killing. Reportedly, two hours after the discovery of the body, State Security units in Baalbaq-Hermel arrested the suspect who admitted to killing his wife with a sharp wooden object which caused deadly injuries to her head.
