AMMAN — The Public Security Department’s (PSD) media centre said on Wednesday that police arrested four suspects for the murder of a guest worker on a farm in Madaba. A relative of the farm owner found the 28-year-old victim, a senior judicial source told The Jordan Times.
The victim had received a gunshot wound to the chest and the back of the head, a PSD statement said. Preliminary investigations led to the arrest of one suspect, who confessed to committing the murder with three accomplices.
Police later arrested the three accomplices and seized the murder weapon. The suspects had planned to rob the farm, but were spotted by the security guard.
They reportedly fought with the guard and shot him dead, before stealing 11 gas cylinders and a hunting rifle from the premises, the statement said.
