Danish police said Monday they found the
bodies of a slain Syrian refugee and her two young daughters in a freezer in
their apartment, as they launched a manhunt for the girls’ father.
The bodies of the 27-year-old mother and
her seven and nine-year-old daughters were found inside a freezer in their
apartment in the southern Danish town of Aabenraa after a concerned relative
had not heard from them for days.
“Police went into the apartment and found
the three bodies in a freezer,” local police said in a statement.
“The victim’s husband and the father of
the two children was not in the apartment, and we are actively searching for
him,” the statement added.
The Syrian family arrived in Denmark in
2015 and were granted refugee status.
The Scandinavian nation welcomed 21,000
migrants in 2015. The influx has significantly slowed since Denmark
re-established border controls in early 2016.
