Ten Days of Mystery... Ending with the Disclosure of a Murder of a Young Man in Nablus

SadaNews - Over the course of ten complete days, the disappearance of a 29-year-old young man from the city of Nablus remained an open mystery, looming over the city with its heavy questions, leaving the young man's family and the people of Nablus in a state of constant anticipation and concern. Questions did not cease, nor did the calls for information, while the city awaited any news or leads that could lead to the truth.

Behind the scenes, away from the spotlight, police teams and officers worked silently and accurately, with one objective in mind: to reach the truth no matter how long it took.

In this context, the police spokesman, Major Luay Erziqat, stated that the public investigations begun immediately upon receiving the report of the disappearance, conducting accurate search and investigation operations that tracked every possible lead, reviewed available data, and connected small details that seemed ordinary on the surface, but together formed a map to reach the full truth and apprehend the suspect.

As the procedures progressed and field efforts intensified, with the involvement of the forensic evidence team, the expected crime scene was handled according to the highest professional standards, where the suspected sites underwent precise examination and analysis procedures. With ongoing investigative work, doubt turned into certainty, as the material evidence and criminal clues revealed a murder victim, the young man who had been missing for ten days.

Major Erziqat explained that the crime was accompanied by an attempt to hide the body and bury it within the city, in a clear effort to obscure the signs of the crime and divert suspicion. However, the vigilance of the competent authorities and the professionalism of the police work thwarted this attempt and redrew the truth as it is, without omission or distortion.

Erziqat added that revealing the circumstances surrounding this crime resulted from continuous professional work, complete coordination between various police departments, and under the directives and diligent follow-up from police leadership, which emphasized the necessity of handling the case with the utmost responsibility and accuracy, given its sensitivity and societal implications.

He affirmed that the public prosecution initiated the investigation immediately and that legal procedures are ongoing in accordance with protocols, which include the preservation of the body in preparation for its referral to the forensic medicine institute to conduct an autopsy, accurately determining the cause of death, and completing the case file in preparation for legal action against those involved.

This case reaffirms the importance of integrated institutional work and the role of police agencies in uncovering crimes, no matter how hard the perpetrators try to conceal them, and that the truth, even if delayed, must eventually emerge, with justice steadily taking its course to protect community safety and the rights of victims and their families.
