The Late Marlin Jokhaji Bou Antoun’s Former Colleague Took Her Life

In a February 9, 2023, Facebook post of Celine Bou Antoun, she revealed the Swedish Armed Forces fired the woman who murdered her mother, weeks before the tragic incident.
She further added that her late mother, Marlin, began to notice strange behavior of the women toward her and told her colleagues and employers about her behavior.
Marlin also became suspicious that the women could hurt her because she was jealous that she was allowed to keep her service in the Armed Forces while the women had to leave.
Moreover, Celine stated that her mother expressed concern over the women’s behaviour to her new employees, too, but nobody cared to listen.
On the morning of April 7, 2022, the late Marlin, with a soup and sandwich in her lunch box, cheerfully left the house at 7:00 a.m., but no one knew it was the last time they would ever see her.
