The head of the Management Council of the municipality of Tarhuna Mohamed Al-Kisher said, Tuesday, that the number of bodies found in the mass graves left by Al Kaniyat militia in the city reached 116, of which only six were identified.
Al-Kisher added, in a statement to Arraed, that the number of families from which samples were taken regarding their missing exceeded 330 families, and that some families had 7 missing, pointing out that some of those whose bodies were identified had their personal possessions buried with them, such as car keys or identity papers.
Al-Kisher clarified that the number of reports filed at Tarhuna Police Station on the crimes of the Al Kaniyat killing and reporting the missing exceeded 3,000 reports, expressing his regret that the Public Prosecution did not move until this moment to take the necessary action.
Al-Kisher was surprised by the lack of state cooperation and support regarding bringing in materials for DNA analysis to find out the identities of the bodies and the families of the missing, or even coordinate with one of the developed countries specialized in this field.
