Police Arrest 2 People Involved in Murders

Security forces announced on Saturday that they have made in the past few days major arrests of criminals involved in separate murders.

A communique issued by the Internal Security Forces said police in the area of Saloumi-Sin el-Fil apprehended a top Palestinian fugitive, who had been involved in the murder of Ghassan Adnan al-Eid.

Al-Eid was shot when a gang robbed his mobile phone shop in the area of Dohat Aramoun late last month.

The Palestinian was armed at the time of his arrest. He is wanted on several charges, including belonging to a terrorist gang and armed robbery, said the communique.

Police had previously arrested another member of the gang, a Lebanese who was shot during the robbery, it said.

Also Saturday, the ISF announced the arrest of a man in Bourj Hammoud for killing his mother and nephew.

The 46-year-old had stabbed the minor and killed the woman at dawn Saturday.

Security forces in Bourj Hammoud and municipal police arrested the suspect, who was injured after he jumped from the second floor balcony, said the communique.

He is also wanted on drug charges, it added.
