The body of ten-year-old Mohannad H. Kh. was found dumped inside a barrel away from his house and near his school in al-Abdeh.
Mohannad has been missing since Sunday when his family reported to the security forces and the concerned teams kicked off their search operations.
The coroner who examined the body said that the death was caused by a hit on the head with a sharp tool; however, the coroner was unable to confirm whether or not the victim had been subject to a sexual assault due to the state of the body.
