‘He is ALIVE’, says dad of Shani Louk’s missing boyfriend Orión after his girlfriend’s body was paraded on pickup truck

THE father of Shani Louk's boyfriend has claimed his son is still alive after the pair was caught in the middle of the October 7 Hamas bloodbath.

Orión Hernandez Radoux, 30, was kidnapped from the deadly Supernova music festival by the terrorist group, who later killed and paraded his girlfriend's body on a pickup truck in Gaza.

Orion's family said there are chances his son is still alive in Gaza, which has "allowed them to continue with hope".

It comes after threatening messages in Arabic were allegedly sent from the missing 30-year-old's phone, his worried pals claimed in October.

Jenny Wenhammer, who is in contact with Orión's friends, wrote on social media: " Someone has used his phone, and a threatening message has been sent in Arabic.

"But apart from that, there’s currently no more information about Orión.

"He is from Mexico and he has a French citizenship too.

"He travelled to the Supernova music festival Universo Parallelo, by the village of Re’im, where Hamas massacred at least 260 young peaceful persons from many countries.

"He was there with Shani to share his knowledge of Mexican traditional huichol art, and to DJ."

Shani had shared a sweet snap of their pair on her Instagram in July and called him "my love".

They often posted updates of their trips around the world together.

Orión's family and friends are desperate for any information on the dad's whereabouts after the festival bloodbath.

A pal wrote on Facebook: "Orión was at Parallel Universe, a festival that was attacked in Israel... still no word from him.... if anyone knows anything, please help us find him.

"Many people were kidnapped, others are still missing or hidden, and many others were left dead by the forces of Hamas."

Another wrote: "Today is one of the most uncertain days of our lives, my friend Orión... was kidnapped by the extremist group Hamas, we ask all our friends and acquaintances to keep us in prayer until Orion returns well."

A third pal said: "You never expect to get such horrible and heartbreaking news and less that it happens to such good people and with so much ahead of them.

"His girlfriend [was] killed by Hamas militants... everyone we know is in a state of shock and horror unbelievable.

"He just became a father to a beautiful baby girl who needs him and I can only hope for the best outcome for him."
