The following communication:
At dawn on February 28, 2026, the child (F.E., born in 2020, Syrian) and his sister (R.E., born in 2017, Syrian) were admitted in an emergency condition to a hospital in the Al-Haddat district. The latter soon died, and three days later her brother died. As a result of the forensic examination, he confirmed that the two children were exposed to a sudden lack of oxygen and that death was consistent with a case of suffocation.
In the preliminary investigation with the invited mother of the two children:
And. M. (Born in 1996, Syria)
She stated that she was surprised by the condition of the two children when she started to wake them up to eat Suhoor, as they did not respond to her or move, so she called the so-called (A.H., born in 1996, Syrian), who helped her take them to the hospital, which the latter confirmed in his testimony.
Accordingly, the competent units in the Information Division began the necessary procedures to uncover the circumstances of the death, especially after the result of the forensic examination, as it was suspected that the mother had carried out the killing.
On 03-27-2026, W. M. was summoned for interrogation, where, as a result of the expansion of her investigation and confronting her with the evidence proving that she carried out the crime, she confessed that she had suffocated her two children with a pillow while they were on her bed inside her house in the Choueifat Desert area, then she left them in this state for an hour, after which she called someone to help her, and she added that she did so because of the psychological pressures she was suffering from.
The legal requirements were carried out against her, and the relevant reference was filed based on the reference of the competent judiciary
