Jordan..a father, son and daughter imprisoned for a family crime

The High Criminal Court in Jordan issued a prison sentence against a father, his son and his daughter, who killed “the son of the accused and the brother of the accused and the accused” by beating with a pipe to “harass” his accused sister.

The court, which announced its decision in a public session, sentenced the accused, "the father and his son", to 3 months in prison, while the accused was sentenced to one month in prison.

The ruling came after the court’s panel amended the two charges against the accused from joint intent and interfering with murder to the misdemeanor of joint murder associated with the verse of anger, and to forfeit the personal right by the heirs of the victim from the three defendants.

According to the court, the 34-year-old victim is the son of the accused and the brother of both the accused and the accused.

 In detail, in 2021, the victim entered the room of his accused brother and his other brother, where he searched the room's safes and scattered its contents, then entered the room of his accused sister and "harassed" her and directed her with "immoral and indecent" expressions, which prompted him to fight with the father.

The court continued, in its case, which concluded that the victim took out a metal pipe and hit his father on the shoulder and back, as well as his brother, the accused with the “pipe.” The accused, the victim's brother, hit the victim on his feet, and the victim tried to get up, but the father hit him.

The accused brought a rope to tie the victim from his feet and legs and took the body outside the house, while the accused father put the victim's head in a burlap bag, and the crime was discovered afterwards and referred to the court.
