AMMAN — Police on Tuesday said they arrested a suspect in connection with the shooting death of a 38-year-old man in Karak Governorate last weekend.

A Public Security Department statement said police arrested the suspect after collecting evidence. The suspect confessed to killing Sarairah over “personal differences”. Police also found the murder weapon based on information the suspect provided.

The victim is survived by his 35-year-old wife, a three-year-old daughter and a nine-month-old boy, according to a family member.
