Hargeisa (HOL) — Police in Somaliland arrested two men on Saturday, accused of killing their mother in the Habaaslay area of the Togdheer region on December 23, 2024.

The victim, Aamina Yusuf Ismail, was reportedly murdered by her two sons, who later buried her. The authorities in Togdheer launched a swift investigation, and the suspects were apprehended.

"We deployed officers to investigate the crime, and we arrested the two sons of Aamina Yusuf Ismail," a police spokesperson said. "During the investigation, it was revealed that she was struck with seven blows."

One of the suspects reportedly confessed to the crime, telling authorities: "I was the first to strike, and I was the last to end her life."

The murder has left the community in shock. The crime went unreported in the days following the incident, as the victim was buried shortly after her death. It wasn't until later that the details of the crime were revealed, intensifying the community's disbelief and raising questions about the motives behind the act.

The case continues to unfold, with local authorities working to gather more information as the investigation progresses.
