NY - Hudson River 2 Saudi Sisters Found, Duct Taped In ‘Macabre Cross Configuration’

||| Twitter | @JustineReTV |||

Gruesome details are emerging about the faith of 2 Saudi Arabian sisters, who were found washed up by the Hudson in Riverside Park last week.

A man out for a walk found just below a small pier that juts out from the park at 68th Street the lifeless bodies of two young women, bound together by duct tape at their waists and ankles, last Wednesday.

Police admit that they had not been in the water long. Both sisters were clad in similar black leggings and black jackets with fur trim, their bodies bore no obvious signs of trauma. Left without any detail as to their identity, the police noticed from a sketch that the two had striking similarities and thus worked under the assumption that they were related.

Detectives soon learned that the two women were sisters from Saudi Arabia who lived with their family in Fairfax, Virginia

Identified by their family two days later, the Saudi-born Farea sisters, Tala, 16 years old, and Rotana, 22 years old, were said to be duct taped one on top of the other in the shape of a cross.

Tala and Rotana were two of four children of Wala’a and Abdulsalam Farea, who emigrated from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to the US a few years ago. Both sisters were said to be “the apples of their father’s eye”.

A Saudi relative of the family told Arabnews.com: “Tala was upset for quite some time after her sister decided to continue her studies in NYC.”

“They were a happy family. They were comfortable and at ease with everyone. Their mother was naturally protective, but in no way was their household problematic for them to run away.”

“All families have problems. What kind of sibling relationship would it be without fights every now and then? But that didn’t push them to the edge as the Western media is portraying.”

The Saudi consulate general issued a statement today saying it “appointed an attorney to follow the case closely” and that the sisters were students “accompanying their brother in Washington.”

Police previously worked under the assumption the girls conspired in a suicide pact.
