The Internal Security Force's Information Branch arrested a man for the murder of a 10-year-old boy in Akkar.

The suspect, identified as Lebanese national M.K., born in 1990, was arrested on November 1. He confessed to killing the victim after the latter refused M.K.’s offer of LL15,000 “to establish sexual relations.”

Upon seeing the boy several days after the initial solicitation, the suspect led the victim to a grove on the pretext of needing help to move a crate of apples. The suspect then repeated his offer, increasing the sum to LL50,000, which the victim again refused.

At that point, the suspect allegedly began sexually assaulting the victim, prompting the child to say he would tell his parents. The suspect then hit him with the branch of a tree, bludgeoning him to death.

After making sure the victim was dead by checking his pulse, the suspect reportedly forced the body into a barrel full of water, placed a stone over it and made efforts to conceal the barrel. The suspect then hid his clothes in a hole near his home.

This security incident was mapped according to the closest possible location.
