Kidnapped 17 Year Old Muslim Girl Murdered On Father's Day In Virginia

Police in Fairfax, Virginia, US, found the body of a 17-year-old Muslim girl, Nabra, who was reported missing early Sunday after leaving a mosque with a group of friends.

Authorities believed she was assaulted and murdered after leaving a mosque in the Sterling area in Virginia. Her body was found on Sunday morning, June 18th, in a pond in the 21500 block of Ridgetop Circle in Sterling, Virginia.

Shortly after finding the remains, officers arrested 22-year-old Darwin Martinez Torres and charged him with murder in connection to the case.

Mosque officials identified the missing teen as Nabra and said she and her friends were coming back from eating during a break from Ramadan prayers when a car pulled up and a man with a baseball bat jumped out and started swinging at the group of girls.

While it was evident that the teens were Muslim, police said detectives have "not gotten any indication that this was motivated by hate or bias"

A suspect, Darwin Martinez age 22, has soon been arrested following the murder.
