Because of "poor economic conditions", a Lebanese man shot his son and committed suicide

A Lebanese man, at dawn today, Thursday, shot his son, before shooting himself immediately after that.

Lebanese media reported that the crime took place in the town of Al-Khader in Baalbek district, where citizen Ahmed Hussein Odeh, in his fifties, killed his 25-year-old son Hussein inside his home in the town and then committed suicide.

The security forces attended and opened investigations to find out the circumstances of the incident.  

According to "Russia Today", and according to preliminary information, it was found that the father is facing difficult economic conditions, as he works in construction workshops that are almost stopped in the region and has no financial return for him.

A dispute arose between him and his son Hussein, who was dismissed from his military service, as he was a conscript in the army, which led to the father's dissatisfaction with his son's suspicious behavior and his absence from home at night.
