A heinous crime shook the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, where a tuk-tuk driver, with the help of another person, shot dead a sixty-year-old woman and burned her body after placing it inside the frame of a heavy vehicle, in the middle of the main street in the Al-Shulah area.
According to a number of local newspapers, the victim, Aqila Qassem Al-Olaywi, 64, was killed and burned by the 22-year-old rickshaw driver, with the help of a partner who usually took her to her place of work.
According to a statement by the Iraqi National Security Agency, "a force from the agency arrested the killers of the employee of the retirement authority in the Al-Shula area of Baghdad, hours after the crime occurred."
The victim’s nephew, Atheer Kamel Jalal, said, “Although my aunt was sympathetic to this criminal and improved for him, instead of giving him 5,000 dinars as a daily delivery fee, she would give him 10,000, as he was complaining to her about the tightness of his hand, and as a matter of charity, she doubled the amount of his wages, He had even asked her at last to help him financially so that he could buy a new car instead of the old one, and she had already promised to help him.”
Jalal added, "But unfortunately, and as it is said, fear the evil of those who did well to him. He committed this heinous crime that killed a virtuous mother with the motive of stealing a trivial amount, as she hardly carried with her about one million Iraqi dinars, which is equivalent to 700 US dollars, because after the end of the working hours she was In the process of seeing the doctor, and in anticipation of the cost of that review, I carried this amount with her.”
He continued, "In addition to the money, they stole the gold jewelry she was wearing and her two mobile phones, and burned them, thinking that this would conceal their crime.
They were arrested by the National Security Service less than 24 hours after the crime was committed, and the owner of the gold shop from whom he bought the stolen jewelry and the owner of a phone shop who bought my slain phone were arrested, and they are under investigation.
During his confession, the criminal revealed how the victim had begged not to kill her, and that she was ready to give him gold and money and would not report it, but he quickly shot her, Atheer says.
The nephew of the victim was astonished, how the murder of shooting and burning the body inside the frame of a large bulldozer and in the middle of the public street, took place without anyone from the security services or passers-by noticing or interfering.
