The Criminal Court prosecutor on Saturday began questioning three men who allegedly murdered a 23-year-old man in a brawl in Amman earlier in the day, official sources said.
The victim was reportedly struck in the head during a brawl with a group of men around midnight in Swefieh, a senior official source said.
“The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital but died shortly as a result of the injury he received to his head,” the senior official source added.
Meanwhile, a special team was tasked with investigating the incident and arrested three suspects, according to a senior official source.
“There might be more arrests following questioning the three arrested suspects,” the senior official source added.
The source added that the victim died “from an injury to the head that was caused by a blunt object”.
The Criminal Court prosecutor will summon the victim and the suspects’ family members for questioning, a senior judicial source said.
The suspects were ordered detained by the Criminal Court prosecutor for 15 days pending further investigation.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing, according to a statement by the Public Security Directorate.
