Two detained in connection with murder By AHMED AL OMARI TWO men have been detained in connection with the suspected murder of an Asian man yesterday. The victim suffered fatal head injuries and was taken to Al Hilal Hospital by two men who claimed they found him lying in the street in Tashan, near Khamis. However, police have detained the two based on questions surrounding their story. “An Asian man was admitted to Al Hilal Hospital in Muharraq with serious head injuries and died later in the morning,” said an Interior Ministry official. “Two people admitted him saying they found him lying on the ground in Tashan. The two were referred to the Khamis Police Station.” The official explained the two men were taken in for questioning because they took the victim to a private hospital far away from where they claimed to find the body. 31st Oct Poll rights vow JUSTICE, Islamic Affairs and Endowments Ministry’s Political Societies Office head Abdulla Majid Al Shaikh stressed the right of citizens to establish or join political societies in accordance with the law.
