Body

Police in the Northern Governorate were first alerted after the body of a man was found by the roadside, bearing multiple stab wounds, a short distance from his house.

Prosecutors were called in, and a team was dispatched to the scene with a forensic pathologist and crime scene specialists.

They examined the body where it lay and took note of the area before gathering samples and traces from the spot.

A post-mortem was carried out to determine the nature of the injuries.
