Indian Expatriate Disposes of Countryman's Body in a Trash Container

Abdullah Qunaissah: Security officers detained an Indian national pending investigation into the death of his fellow countryman and the disposal of his body by throwing it into a garbage container. The detainee denied causing the death, claiming the deceased had taken medication before dying.

According to details, Interior Ministry operations received a report of the discovery of an unidentified body inside a garbage container, as the deceased had no personal identification documents. The body was sent to the forensic medicine institute to determine his identity and the cause of death.

Subsequent investigations revealed the identity of the deceased, who was found to be living in a room near the site where the body was discovered. Continuing the probe, security officers identified an Indian national who admitted to transporting his fellow countryman’s body and disposing of it in the container.

According to a security source, the detainee denied during interrogation any involvement in his compatriot’s death, stating that the latter had taken medication, which he suspected was the cause of death. He added that he feared being held responsible, so he decided to move the body and dispose of it in the container.

The case has been registered as “death under criminal suspicion,” while investigations continue to clarify the circumstances of the incident, pending the forensic institute’s determination of the actual cause of death.
