AMMAN — Criminal Investigation Department (CID) personnel have arrested several suspects in connection with the premeditated murder of an Irbid resident, the Public Security Department (PSD) said Sunday. The victim was admitted to a hospital on May 12, 2015 after a report showed he fell while he was with his friends, the PSD said, adding that he died in hospital after a month-and-a-half, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

A CID agent investigating the case received a tip off that a friend of the victim hit him on the head with a blunt instrument, the PSD noted, adding that CID agents identified the suspect and arrested him. The suspect confessed to the crime and said he agreed with the victim’s other friends to report that he fell. The case was referred to the Criminal Court, with the main suspect facing premeditated murder charges and his accomplices facing charges of concealing a crime, Petra added.
