Ongoing security chaos | Woman found hanged and person stabbed to death by drug abusers in two different places in regime-held areas

SOHR sources have reported that residents found a decomposed body of a 30-year-old woman in a rented house on Abi Al-Fida’a street in Hama city.

 

The woman was found hanged in mysterious circumstances, while it is unknown whether she had committed suicide or was killed by an unknown person.

 

Similarly, a person was stabbed to death with a sharp tool during a fight with drug abusers following personal disputes among them in Rukn Al-Dein area in the capital Damascus.

 

The local authorities intervened and arrested two of the murderers, and they were taken to a security centre.

 

This comes in light of ongoing security chaos in regime-held areas.
