REPORT: Domestic Worker Confesses To Killing 4-Year-Old Child

2^min

The General Directorate of the Internal Security Forces said on Thursday that a domestic worker has confessed to killing 4-year-old Celine Rakan.

The domestic worker strangled the child to death for fear of revealing that she was stealing the house contents, the ISF said.

Earlier, Health Minister Wael Abou Faour said a domestic worker is suspected to be involved in the killing of Celine Rakan.

“A delegate dispatched from the [concerned] embassy is being present at investigations conducted by the Internal Security Forces’ Information Bureau,”Abou Faour said ahead of Thursday’s cabinet session.

In turn, the Lebanese Doctors Syndicate said a session was held whereby it heard the testimony of physician (M. Z.) who vaccinated the child, as part of an investigation to unveil the real cause of death.

In this regard, the Doctors Syndicate asked all the Lebanese media as well as all concerned officials not to jump into unfounded conclusions.

Celine Rakan died shortly after being vaccinated, leading her father to blame her death on what he dubbed a "corrupt vaccine."

However, the probe conducted by the Health Ministry in this regard, revealed that the vaccine, which was proven to be acquired outside of the ministry’s distributions, is valid and used to vaccinate a large number of children on a daily basis.

Health Minister Wael Abou Faour had also referred the physician, identified by his initials as M. Z., who vaccinated the child, to the Lebanese Order of Physicians, for further interrogations in order to unveil the real cause of death.
