On December 16, SOHR sources reported a horrific crime, where an 11-year-old boy was killed in the western countryside of Hama. According to SOHR sources, a volunteer in regime forces has killed his step-son by injecting him with acid and poisonous substances in his neck after torturing him for 48 hours. This incident followed a disagreement between the murderer and his wife after she had sold her jewellery, as the man filmed his crime and sent video footage to his wife, showing the child breathing his last.
