Regime-held areas | Woman tortured and kil-led by thief in Aleppo

Aleppo province: A woman in her fifties was killed by a 28 years-old young man, after he entered her house in Aleppo city, tortured her and beat her on the head with a gas cylinder on her head, in order to steal her jewelry. Meanwhile, the local authorities arrested the young man.

This comes in light of the rampant security chaos and widespread arms proliferation in areas controlled by regime forces.
