In the western suburbs of Sydney a maintenance man has discovered the scene of a horrific murder of a Muslim schoolboy. Distraught friends and family identify him as Mahad Abdul an 18 year old soon to be high school graduate.
He was discovered lying stomach up behind the schools bin area the morning after the murder. CCTV cameras show a person walking into the school yard at 11:00pm and following them another person strolling in at 11:05pm, at 11:20pm we see a person leave suspected to be the murderer. Both of them wore hooded jackets shielding their identities.
Mahad was stabbed; investigators checked the wound claiming the murder weapon was a hunting knife roughly 15 cm long. The police have established a forensic link stating that the murderer had a hand to hand combat with the deceased ending the fight with no more than one solid stab to the abdominal area ending the boys life in a matter of moments.
The boy bled to death and his father stated, “He went to Jannah”, which is the Muslim heavenly place after death.
Police have had many issues with this ethnic community and it came to no surprise being presented with another case featuring a mortal assault. There are many possible suspects in the community. They include the local gangs and the many ethnic minorities in conflict.
A father of a boy at this school expressed his opinion on the issue by saying “The instability of the students protection and duty of care for our kids is atrocious as problems have persistently occurred at this school and this is just another one of them”.
According to the community the school is due to close, as the school can’t maintain enrolments and the frequent problems just can't be solved with the lack of financial support from the government. The high amount of drug use and dealing in the area police state could have been a factor to the murder of Mahad Abdul.
The reason why Mahad was killed is unknown but his brother declares “This was no accident someone has murdered my brother and our family will never be the same”.
