SOHR exclusive | NDF member rapes and kills displaced girl in northern Hama

Reliable sources have informed the Syrian Observatory that a member of the regime-backed “National Defence Forces” (NDF) known by his initials as M.S. was arrested yesterday for “raping and killing a girl” in Halfaya city on Wednesday, December 9.

 

According to local sources, the girl, who have been displaced from a village in the northern countryside of Hama, was raped, killed by gunshots at the head and dumped in an abandoned house in Halfaya city where her body were found yesterday.

 

Yesterday, SOHR sources reported that a 16-year-old girl from Murek city was found dead and dumped in an abandoned house in Halfaya city which is under the control of regime forces and loyalists. It is worth noting that the girl went missing a few days earlier, while medical sources have confirmed that she was killed two days earlier.

 

It is worth noting that the areas of northern countryside of Hama, southern and eastern countryside of Idlib, which are under the control of regime forces and militiamen backed by Russia and Iran, are witnessing growing kidnappings, thefts and exploitation of children and women in light of the prevalence of poverty and poor security and service situations.
