The child was subjected to brutal abuse by her father, who confessed to his crime The girl was taken from her home to the hospital, but she passed away upon arrival

The repercussions of the Northern Badia crime, which occurred a few days ago, continue to cast a heavy shadow over social media platforms. The past hours witnessed an outpouring of shock and deep sorrow after a photo circulated of a little girl, not yet six years old, who lost her life to violence unworthy of the innocence of children or the hearts of parents. A wave of anger and disbelief swept through Jordanian society, as many questioned: How can a father’s heart become this cruel?

According to sources close to the investigation, the autopsy — conducted in the presence of the Mafraq Public Prosecutor and a specialized Sharia committee — revealed horrifying details that continue to haunt the case. The young girl took her last breath after suffering fatal internal bleeding caused by being struck with a blunt object on her chest, as confirmed by forensic doctors.

Signs of beating and abuse The tragedy did not stop there. The forensic report documented multiple bruises across her body, a broken nose, signs of repeated blows to the ear, and evidence of slaps and hits of varying ages, clearly indicating that she had been subjected to violence repeatedly and not just once. Her head was also found partially and unevenly shaved, adding another heartbreaking layer to the case.

During the investigation, the father—who is in his thirties—confessed that he routinely beat his daughter and admitted to what happened during his interrogation before the Grand Criminal Court prosecutor. Based on this, the Public Prosecution charged him with intentional murder and ordered his detention for 15 renewable days at a correctional and rehabilitation center, while investigations in the case that shocked the entire society continue.

In an official statement, the authorities confirmed that the girl had been transported to the hospital from her home but died immediately upon arrival. Medical and legal investigations verified that she had been subjected to fatal physical violence, leading to the father’s immediate arrest once the evidence was established.
