Jeilani Aden Abadir has been detained by Somali police forces on suspicion of murdering Hibo Khasim Mohamed on Wednesday in Elasha Biyaha, 15 kilometres south of Mogadishu.
On Tuesday, the day after Hibo Khamis, a recent secondary school graduate, received word from the Ministry of Education that she had passed her national secondary school examination, she was fatally stabbed in Elasha Biyaha.
The West Division Police Commander, Colonel Yasin Nur Kheire, also known as Yasin Ganey, stated that the culprit was captured with the assistance of the community.
“Jeilani, who was accused of murdering Hibo Khasim on a day she ought to have been rejoicing, was eventually taken into custody by the authorities. Her joy turned to grief as a result of his deeds. We will deliver him to the appropriate authorities “said he.
Faisa Mohamed Abukar, Mohamed’s mother, told the reporters that she sent her daughter to the store to buy dinner but that she returned in a corpse bag.
