The mother of Wadea Al-Fayoume, the 6-year-old Palestinian-American who was stabbed to death in a Chicago suburb this weekend, posted about the attack on Facebook just hours after it took place on Saturday.
Hanaan Shaheen, Wadeas 32-year-old mother, was stabbed 12 times during the attack, local authorities in Plainfield, Chicago, said. The familys landlord, 71-year-old Joseph Czuba, has since been arrested in connection with the stabbings, with police saying Czuba was likely motivated by the on-going Middle Eastern conflict involving Hamas and the Israelis, and the Muslim faith of the family, according to a statement from the Will County Sheriffs Office.
Despite being in critical condition at the time of the attack, Wadeas mother appears to have taken to Facebook that same afternoon to share her sons last words.
My sons last words were: (Im fine). May God have mercy on him and let him dwell in the highest paradise.
