The General Directorate of Criminal Investigations, represented by the Jahra Criminal Investigations Department, in cooperation with the General Security Sector, arrested a suspect of Bangladeshi nationality in the murder of a guard at a plot under construction in the Mutlaa area, in less than 24 hours from the receipt of the report.
The Ministry of Interior stated in a press release that security agencies received a report early Friday morning indicating the discovery of the guard’s body on the roof of the plot. Competent authorities immediately proceeded to the site to examine the scene and collect evidence.
The ministry added that investigations led to suspicion falling on a former guard of the plot, who had been dismissed the day before the incident was discovered. It emerged that he had surrendered himself to the East Police Station following an arrest warrant related to the expiration of his residency permit, seeking to be deported from the country before his connection to the case was uncovered.
It continued: “Upon interrogation, the suspect confessed to committing the crime following a dispute with the victim, who had replaced him at work, and admitted to assaulting him using a piece of wood and a knife.” It noted that the necessary procedures are underway to refer the suspect to the competent authorities.
