I read a story on the news that has been haunting me the last week.
about a 17/18 year old Somali boy (some links report him aged 17 at the time of his death) here in London. He went missing december last year and his family filed a missing person claim with the police, their last memory of him was at his sister’s wedding.
…..about 2 weeks ago his body was discovered in the attic of a house belonging to a white couple who stabbed him to death.
His body was discovered in august 2018.
He died december last year.
his name was Abdi Ali
there is little to no media coverage…I only heard about it through twitter.
I cannot imagine what the family is going through, in Islam, people are traditionally buried immediately once they pass away……to think that your loved one, a teenager, went missing and for months, you hoped that they would come back (with no help from the police)….to find out that he has been dead for over 8 months and his body was decomposing in the attic of the ones that killed him who lived less than 1.5 miles away from your family home is just such a morbid and depressing thought.
I read somewhere that his parents came from Somalia a decade ago to start a better life and safer life for their children, my heart goes out them all…to think you uprooted your entire family unit from their ancestral land because of the threat of violence and then this happening.
