The fate of the child is unknown amid information about his death, but without any clear evidence. A relative of the victims spoke to STJ about the incident:<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cOn May 13, 2019 Rasheed Khalil, 42, was sitting with his son, Mohammed,10, at the door of his grocery shop in the town of Jindires, when Sharaf al-Deen Sedo came and asked Rasheed to escort him to the city of A\u2019zaz, because he wanted to buy a new car from there with the 15 million Syrian pounds he had. Indeed, they went there, and shortly after they left Sharaf al-Deen\u2019s wife came to the house of Rasheed\u2019s family and told them that unknown kidnappers called her and demanded the amount of $100.000 to release her husband, otherwise threatened to kill him and hang his head in the main roundabout of Afrin.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
On May 22, 2019, the body of Rashid Khalil was found near the village of Qastal Jendu, while the body of Sharaf al-Deen was found handcuffed and burned in a grove near the same village on June 23, 2019. Their deaths date back to May 22, 2019, one week after the kidnapping, according to the Coroner’s Office in A\u2019zaz.<\/p>\n
The witness went on to say:<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter finding the body of Rasheed Khalil, his family continue to contact with the kidnappers to negotiate the release of Sharaf al-Deen and the child Mohammed. The Lions of the East Army\/Jaish al-Sharqia interfered in negotiations and got $10.000 from Sharaf al-Deen family to lure the kidnappers, as it claimed. The Lions of the East Army alleged killing the kidnappers, but it didn\u2019t disclose their identities or the fate of the victims. Besides, it didn\u2019t return the money to the victim\u2019s family.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
As for the child Mohammed Rasheed Khalil, his mother went to Afrin governor (Wali) and to the centers of the military and civil police, but obtained no accurate information, as the civil police suggested the child to be killed but his body has yet to be found.<\/p>\n
