| 2013-10-03 |
| [An Nahar] Police in Somalia said Wednesday they were questioning a man accused of beheading four of his children more than three years after divorcing their mother. Omar Shire Hassan was apprehended late Tuesday by the police in the central Somalia town of Beledweyne, situated about 300 kilometers (190 miles) north of the capital, a few hours after allegedly murdering the children who were between three and eight years old. "The dead bodies of the four children were found near a village and have been buried. The man handed himself in and is in custody now. I think he is not mentally fit but we are questioning him," regional police commissioner Colonel Isak Ali Abdulle said. He said police understood the man had recently returned to Somalia from Canada, but said the motive for the crime was unclear. |
