The following statement was issued by the General Directorate of Internal Security Forces, Public Relations Division
The Dammour outpost, part of the Territorial Gendarmerie Unit, succeeded in uncovering the circumstances of the rape and murder of a ten-year-old girl (H. M., born in 2015, Syrian national) in the town of Naameh, a crime carried out by a “human monster” in every sense of the word.
The aforementioned outpost was able to arrest the perpetrator:
H. H. (born in 1997, Syrian)
He is the brother of the family’s neighbor. He took the girl and her five-year-old brother, A. M. (born in 2020, Syrian), to the beach where he raped the girl on a dirt hill opposite the Dammour shore to the north. He then killed her by hitting her on the head with a large stone and hid her body among the reeds, under a pile of stones. He then took her brother—who had begun screaming—after hitting him in the face, through the Al-Abbara path in Naameh, where he threw him into the sea, believing he was dead, but divine providence prevented his death.
In Detail: At 23:25 on 31-10-2025, the Dammour outpost received a phone call from a resident of Naameh reporting the discovery of a child with scratches, a head wound, and wet clothes. A patrol immediately went to the location where they saw the child. His father (M. M., born in 1979, Syrian) also arrived, accompanied by the aforementioned (H. H.). As soon as the child saw H. H., he pointed at him, indicating that he was the one who took him and his sister to the sea, where he took his screaming sister and told him to stay next to the motorcycle. The suspect then returned alone to take the boy to the Al-Abbara path in Naameh and threw him into the sea after hitting him in the face.
The suspect was immediately escorted and detained by the officers and taken to the outpost center.
On 1-11-2025, the child’s testimony was heard in the presence of a juvenile protection delegate. He reiterated his statements, and upon being shown the suspect, he accused him again.
Around 17:00 on the same date, during a search operation of the sea and the shore, a patrol found the girl’s body, which was examined by the forensic doctor and the Accidents Bureau in Baabda and then placed in the morgue of a hospital in the area.
During questioning, the mentioned (H. H.) confessed to the charges against him, admitting that he took the two children to the Dammour beach, raped the girl, and killed her by hitting her on the head with a stone, covering her body with stones. He then took her brother to Naameh and threw him into the sea, believing he had died.
(H. H.) was arrested and referred to the Beiteddine Judicial Detachment of the Judicial Police Unit for further investigation, based on the competent judiciary’s directive.
