Ahmad Maher Al Marrach and his family were Syrian refugees who were making a life for themselves in Canada. The 16-year-old was killed outside a city mall on Monday.
Halifax Regional Police say two youths have been released without charges as they continue to investigate the homicide of a 16-year-old. The injured youth was found at a parking lot at the Halifax Shopping Centre and died in hospital. Amber Fryday reports.
“Obviously, it’s a tragic incident,” said imam Hamzah Mangera following the service. “The youth are feeling it, because many of the youth were friends of the deceased.” “When a child passes away from natural causes, that’s difficult enough. But when a child passes away from brutal violence, that is incomprehensible,” she said.“How do you understand and justify and get over that, and then how do you feel secure from that?”
