Wala2 S. from Bebnine: A new victim of family violence

5-6-2014

The media hectically covered yesterday the murder of 17 year old Wala2 from Bebnine who was shot dead by her father.  According to As Safir newspaper and the testimonials of the victim’s neighbors, Wala2’s father found out that his daughter was getting ready to elope with her fiancé.  Also according to the paper, the father disappeared right after the shooting whilst his victim was rushed to Youssef Hospital Center in Halba before being returned home whilst her family observed silence.  The newspaper quotes the forensic physicians, Moussa Haddad and Hussein Adawiyeh, who checked the victim first at home as the family refused to take her to the public hospital in Halba. The doctors noted that they were not able to do a full check of the victim but can say that she received four gun shots in her chest, stomach, head and right hand which led to her death. They also added that the victim did not have an autopsy as this cannot be performed except in a morgue.
