May 27, 2021 In Reggio Emilia, the case of Saman Habbas, an 18-year-old Pakistani who has disappeared for almost a month, is being investigated for murder. The investigators maintain strong confidentiality, but it is possible there are some suspects among the family members. The

girl had opposed an arranged marriage, denouncing her parents



The investigations are followed by the Carabinieri of the Reggio provincial command, coordinated by the Prosecutor's Office. The parents reportedly returned to Pakistan for a short time. Saman, after the complaint, had been placed in a protected structure, then once of age she had decided to return to Novellara, in the lower Reggio area.



The young woman, still a minor at the time, had turned to social services and her parents, husband and wife aged 43 and 46, had been

reported in January by the military on charges of coercion or induction into marriage

, after attempting to arrange the Islamic wedding of their daughter with a cousin cousin. An event that had already been set for December 22nd, with airline tickets purchased on December 17th. But the girl confided the project to the municipal social workers, who in turn reported the case to the investigators.



Since she returned home she had already gone away for a few weeks in Northern Europe

, before returning. But this time his disappearance became increasingly suspicious. According to the testimonies collected by the investigators,

the parents would have recently and quickly returned to their homeland, for an alleged family problem

. But the girl, from checks also made with the airports, did not leave with them. This is why the search machine around the area was started, with helicopters and dogs. And immediately no hypothesis was ruled out. The alarm was caused by the lack of a report of the disappearance and the contextual sudden removal of the family. That's why the police wanted to shed light on what happened and dispel any doubts. Now

it is not excluded that in order to trace the suspects it is necessary to resort to international letters rogatory

.
