Demonstrators took to the Mogadishu streets on Sunday to protest Friday’s shocking incident where a 19-year old girl was raped and thrown off a building.
Early today, they went to the scene of the crime and set the building on fire.
The incident, which took place in Waberi district in Mogadishu, saw Hamdi Mohamed Farah raped and thrown off a six-storey building.
Eventually, she died and her family laid her to rest at a local cemetery in the capital.
Police have launched investigations into the matter. Somalia has witnessed an increase in sexual crimes this year.
Initial reports indicate that Farah’s male friend invited her to the building where the dastardly act later took place.
