A WAVE of violence continued to spread across Syria on Sunday as areas loyal to the former president were left with dead bodies piling up on the streets.

Hundreds have reportedly fled their homes in the coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus with locals reporting the mass killings of men, women and children as well as widespread looting.

There are reports of bodies piled up around the streets of the  predominantly Alawite neighbourhood of Hai al-Kusour in the coastal city of Banias.
