[Ma'an] Police identified the remains of a 20-year-old woman found in a well near Hebron on Friday, over a year after her disappearance. | Arrest them for polluting the drinking water. Don't they know there's a water shortage in the Middle East? That was supposed to cause the next round of wars before food prices went up. |
Local prosecutor Ashraf Mash'al identified the woman as Ayah Ibrahim Barad'iyya from the southern West Bank town of Surif. Her body was found in a deserted well by Israel's separation wall in fields three kilometers from her home. It took two days to retrieve her remains from the well.
Mash'al said the woman was wearing a necklace inscribed with her name, and that a handbag containing personal documents was also retrieved from the well.
The facts of the case were "shocking," director of Hebron police Ramadan Awad told Ma'an. "As we interrogated her uncle, the people in the room could hardly hold back tears."
According to Awad, Ibrahim Baradh'iyya and his wife reported their daughter missing in 2010 saying she had left home on April 20, heading to Hebron University where she was studying, but never returned. They said they feared she had been kidnapped, and wondered if she had run away.
