AMMAN — Criminal Investigation Department (CID)
agents cracked a murder case that went unsolved for 35 years, the Jordan News
Agency, Petra, reported on Saturday.
The case, which was committed in 1987, involved the murder
of a foreign worker of Arab nationality.
According to a statement by the Public Security Directorate
spokesperson, a body of an Arab foreign worker was found killed by two gunshot
wounds at a construction site north of the capital 35 years ago. The
assailant’s identity remained unknown.
CID personnel reinvestigated the cold case and found a
suspect — a worker at the same site. They then arrested the suspect and
conducted further investigations.
The suspect confessed to the murder, stating that he killed
the guard because he was attempting to stop him from stealing building
equipment and materials at night.
The case was referred to the Grand Criminal Court, which
decided to detain the killer at a correctional and rehabilitation center on
charges of premeditated murder.
