"LET THE STATE TAKE MY RIGHT"

THEY CALLED THEM TO MAKE PEACE
Anzo's cousin, Alaa Hasan, said, "The kids first argued over something on Instagram. Then they were going to make peace. They said 'come here,' and he went. He went supposedly to talk. He was sitting with his friends, left them and went to them. One friend said, 'Let me come too.' Both of their names are Ali, I guess. Then they came and attacked the kid without talking. One is currently in intensive care seriously injured, the other died. Let the state take our right, we don't want anything else. My friend informed me. His father went 10 minutes later and found the kid on the ground. He was stabbed in the heart." Police teams started work to capture the attackers.
