/ The Egyptian Ministry of Interior revealed, on Monday, the details of the security services’ investigations into the killing of a Yemeni defense official in Giza Governorate. While it noted that the crime was carried out with the aim of theft, it indicated that the accused in the incident were arrested.
The Director of the Military Manufacturing Department at the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, and the head of the National Salvation Movement in Yemen, Major General Hassan Farhan bin Jalal Al-Ubaidi, was found murdered in his home, a few days ago, in the Faisal area of Giza Governorate, Egypt.
The Egyptian Interior Ministry said in a statement that the authorities arrested four people, including a man who had previously been accused of a theft case, stressing that the accused “confessed to committing the incident and acknowledged that two of them had previously known the victim and agreed to rob him with the help of others. They took advantage of the aforementioned person hosting them at his home on the evening of Friday, February 16, and slipped sleeping pills into his drink in an attempt to sedate him, and enabled others to enter his home, and threatened him with a knife, but he resisted them, so they assaulted him, tied him up and threw him to the ground, which led to his death. They seized (sums of money in foreign and local currencies, and some personal belongings and effects) in addition to a rented car that was near his residence and fled in it.”
The statement confirmed the seizure of all stolen items, the rented car, the bladed weapon used in committing the incident, a firearm and bullets. The initial examination of the body showed that it was found tied up and had head and neck injuries, a nosebleed and traces of a search, and the contents of the apartment were scattered.
