Body of the kid, Anis Benrahim, was found on Sunday evening near the house of his uncles in the neighborhood of el-kouf in Mila (eastern Algeria).
Anis corpse suggests that he died a week ago, as he disappeared since 22 days, in the center of Mila city, which he visited along with his mother, coming from the municipality of Chalghoum Al Eid where he lives, which is 30 km far from Mila.
His sudden disappearance is a painful shock and event for the residents of Mila and Algerians who spent a sad Eid el Adha because the innocent and friendly kid did not appear.
The corpse was found in a valley for sewage inside a garden that is located far 20 meters from the house of the kid’s uncles, which is the same place where he disappeared and it was popularized that he had been kidnapped, as the civil protection services intervened with the security services, including the scientific police from Constantine, to inspect the body and then transfer it to the mortuary services of the brothers Meghlaoui in Mila, where it was subject to autopsy in the late hours of Sunday, then transfer him to the university hospital of Constantine, to determine the causes of death and confirm the identity of the corpse, especially since the sources confirmed that the child is an advanced degree of rot, which means that the death occurred since five or six days only, and that the incident is a murder and throwing the body in the valley.
Echorouk moved, since the Sunday, to the scene, and attended the process of recovering the corpse amid large popular presence, as everyone was shocked, and disbelieved that Anis the corpse which was found belongs to the child Anis, and they lived an atmosphere of anticipation and invitations to save Anis, whose disappearance occupied the minds of all the city’s population, while the family was surprised, especially the grandfather of Anis, who is currently in semi-coma with his mother, who did not restrain her self, especially as she adhered to the glimmer of hope, for the return of her son Anis to his parents alive, especially as they lived the same hope, during the last week , when the child’s body was found in a forest in Eulma, Setif (eastern Algeria), and Anis family was summoned, and it turned out that it belongs to Anis Abderrahim, and its hope this time evaporated, and Anis story ended as sad as it began.
Interestingly, the child’s body was found inside of a grove that has been combed dozens of times by the competent security services, through the use of sniffer dogs, which are large search operations in which citizens took part in the province and outside, and the kid was not found at the time, thus the way was opened for raising the doubts and speculations about how to find the corpse after the passage of 22 days, to open the door for talk about the death that was caused by a person, as the funeral of Anis, 5, is expected to take place on Monday.
