23-year-old Found Dead 3 Weeks After Kidnappers Parade Her Through Streets, Torture Her – Crime Online

A 23-year-old German tattoo artist has been found dead weeks after a brutal terroristic murder, police said Monday, following a reported Hamas kidnapping on October 7.

According to Israel’s President Isaac Herzog, Hamas terrorists paraded Shani Nicole Louk through Gaza after kidnapping her from the Nova Music Festival in Kibbutz Re’im , i24 News reports.

A video released the day of the attack showed mobs in Gaza spitting on Louk and shouting at her. She was later found severely disfigured and beheaded, and identified through her leg tattoo. DNA obtained from part of her skull found later confirmed the victim’s identity. 

“I am truly sorry to report that we have now received news that Shani Nicole Louk has been confirmed murdered and dead. Her skull was found ,” Herzog told Bild News.

“This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured and killed Israelis. It is a great tragedy and I extend my deepest condolences to her family.”

Herzog added that 40 other deceased bodies found are still pending identification after the attacks.

“What we saw on the Gaza-Israel border went far beyond a pogrom. We saw a slaughterhouse,” Herzog said. “We saw the blood flowing on the streets. “We have seen the most horrific tragedies imaginable.”

 Israeli rescue service Zaka said that more than 260 people were killed at the music festival, according to the New York Post. Armed terrorists reportedly shouted, “Allahu Akbar,” while parading Louk’s body around.

Louk reportedly lived in Germany but spent her early childhood in Portland, Oregon, where she attended Jewish Portland Academy.
