Fatally bashed teen Mahmoud Hrouk 'a beautiful boy' from loving family
As the sun set last Saturday he asked Mahmoud to come and get some BBQ chicken with him from Granville.
"I said 'Mahmoud, Mahmoud come with me, please come.' He said: 'No, I want to eat McDonalds.' "I thought, 10, 15 minutes he'll be back."
Mr Hrouk said it was very unusual for his son to go out at night so when he rang him at 7.30pm and asked if he could go to a friend's house, he saw no reason to say no. When he was not home by nine Mr Hrouk phoned him and asked if he was okay. Mahmoud said he was.
"When he talked to me I swear to god from my heart, my son, [I thought] something has happened."
A chorus of relatives chime in and all swear it was very unusual for Mahmoud to be out late at night. His mother was the last person to hear his voice and she said her son asked her to pick him up from nearby Mitchell Street about 9.40pm.
"He said: 'Mum I'm over at [my friends] on Mitchell'…And the line cut," she said.
Her car screeched around the streets of Fairfield and Villawood all night and dozens of family members walked the streets yelling his name. The next morning someone told the family they thought he could possibly be at a house on Belmore Street.

It sounds like an abandoned house where the body was found, doesn't it?
Such a tragic case.
