30-month-old Jouri al Khalidi was kidnapped from a hospital in Riyadh while she was with her family. So far no news has emerged of the girl.
As rumours on social media suggested that her dead body was found on a beach in the Eastern region, this prompted the police to issue a statement saying that the body found was that of a five-year-old girl who shared the same name as the abducted child.
“Reports circulated on social media that the abducted Jouri Al Khaldi was found dead on a beach are totally untrue,” police said in a statement published by Alriyadh daily.
