Lebanese taxi driver Tarek Hauchi explained the rape and murder of British diplomat Rebecca Dykes in that he found her attractive because of the short skirt. This is reported by The Daily Mail with reference to sources in the police. The man arrived at one of the popular bar among the tourists by order in the service Uber. In testimony, the taxi driver also mentioned that he hoped for impunity when he saw in his car a foreigner. Hauchi confessed to the deed immediately after his arrest.

In the profile of a taxi driver on Facebook, journalists found a lot of photos on which the detainee was captured with alcohol and weapons. Despite the fact that when he was in Uber, he provided a document on the absence of a criminal record, in fact he was in prison twice. The body of a 30-year-old woman was discovered last Saturday, December 16 at the side of the road. On the victim's body, traces of rape and suffocation. She worked at the British Embassy in Beirut since January 2017 and on the day of her death was to fly to the UK for a family for the celebration of Christmas.
