On Sunday evening, January 3, 2021, the lifeless body of 28-year-old Ahlam Younan is found by her sister in her apartment in Liège, Belgium. It is unclear exactly when the facts took place, Ahlam was last seen on 29 December 2020.
The circumstances under which she was found indicate an execution because Ahlam's hands were tied and she was shot in the head.
Rumor has it that Ahlam was murdered because she was too westernized. One of her five brothers is said to have warned her in the past, but Ahlam didn't care. On her Facebook page she wrote: "Live your life the way you want, someday you'll die anyway".
Her sister, Fadja, believes that at least one of her five brothers is responsible for the murder. "We were like whores to him," she said. "Being a barmaid in a pub or in a nightclub, going out and choosing your own boyfriend, was not appreciated".
The morgue where Ahlam lies is guarded by the police. "To make sure that no one there disturbs the peace.
No arrests have yet been made. We would be happy with any clues!
