In December 2017, a taxi driver picked Rebecca Dykes up from a Beirut bar and drove her to a mountainside motorway where he sexually assaulted and strangled her with a rope, a security source briefed on the matter told CNN at the time.
###
Dykes was an employee at the UK Department of International Development at the British embassy in Beirut. She was last seen leaving a bar named “Demo” off of the Gemmayze Street, a popular nightlife spot in the Lebanese capital, the source said. Her body was found in a ditch along a mountain highway near the outskirts of the city.

In a statement on Friday, the British embassy in Beirut said Dykes “was a talented, devoted humanitarian whose skill, expertise and passion improved the lives of many people.”

The embassy added that while it hoped that the court’s decision would “provide a degree of closure” to those close to Dykes, “the UK government continues to oppose the death penalty in all circumstances.”
