The killer of a child arrested in Al-Nidaa neighborhood in Najaf

A source in the Najaf Police Command announced the arrest of the killer of the child whose family lives in Al-Nidaa neighborhood, north of Najaf, after an urgent and rapid campaign by the security services in the governorate. The source stated, "The killer, who is the victim's maternal uncle, was arrested and his statement was recorded in which he admitted to killing the seven-year-old girl in Al-Nidaa neighborhood." He added: 'Investigation was conducted at the scene of the accident and the crime tool (the knife) was removed,' noting that the reason for the crime was the family's preoccupation with the tragedy and evasion of the debt it owed. A security source announced earlier yesterday, Tuesday, that the girl died due to a stray dog attack. However, preliminary investigations and the results of the forensic examination showed that the girl in Al-Nidaa neighborhood was a victim of a crime and not stray dogs Source: National Iraqi News Agency
