Three Killed in Individual Dispute in Jbeil

Three people were killed Friday and three wounded during a family dispute in the region Mastita in Jbeil, reported the National News Agency on Saturday.

It said that the dispute erupted between members of the al-Qouba, Abi Younes, and Ghussein families, as well as a number of Syrian nationals.

The dispute began when Pamela Jawhari informed her friend Alain al-Qouba that a man was constantly following her.

On Friday night and as Alain was dropping her off to her home, they came across the stalker, who remained unidentified, said NNA.

A verbal dispute soon ensued and it developed into an armed clash.

This led to the intervention of Alain's father Michel and two Syrians identified as Khaled Mohammed al-Ahmed and Rifaat Mustapha Krad.

The clash left Michel Antoine al-Qouba, Tony Abi Younes, and Krad dead.

Carlos Jad Ghussein and Ahmed were meanwhile wounded in the violence.

Upon hearing of his son's death, Youssef Abi Younes, shot and killed himself, reported NNA.

Investigations are underway with Jawhari to determine the details of the incident.

Mount Lebanon Judge Claude Ghanem has been tasked with overseeing the investigation.
