Jordanian society was shaken with the spread of news of an attack that took place on Tuesday evening in the city of Zarqa, east of Amman, in which a 16-year-old boy was killed, amid demands for harsh punishments for the perpetrators.

The boy was kidnapped by the perpetrators while he was going out to the market to buy bread. They cut his hands, puked his eyes, and hit him with a sharp object on the face.

King Abdullah II continued the details of the security operation that led to the arrest of the perpetrators, stressing that the most severe penalties be taken, and the provision of necessary and necessary treatment for the boy.

Details of the crime

According to a security source, the boy was kidnapped from those who had criminal precedents while on his way to buy bread for his mother, and he was taken to an empty area east of the city of Zarqa. .

After the perpetrators finished their crime, they left the boy in an empty area, then put his hands in a bag and sent him to his mother.

After a bystander found the boy in a critical condition as a result of bleeding, he was taken to the hospital, and he underwent amputations of the hands from the wrist, and treatment of his eyes as a result of being stabbed, along with providing health care, according to a medical source.

A statement by the Public Security Directorate stated that the attack on the boy came against the background of a murder in Zarqa camp, and that he was the son of a murderer in a previous crime.

The statement added that he was transferred to Zarqa Governmental Hospital by the Civil Defense, and that investigations had begun to determine the circumstances of the case, and the perpetrators were arrested.

The rates of crimes committed in Jordan during the past year 2019 increased by more than 7%, compared to 2018, according to the forensic statistical report, and the self-employed were the most perpetrators of crimes, while the unemployed came second.

A deterrent penalty

According to a legal source, the act committed by the perpetrators is punishable by the Jordanian Penal Code in the text of Article 334 bis, whereby anyone who strikes a person with a sharp object on the face using blades or razors shall be punished with temporary hard labor for a period not exceeding 7 years, whatever it is. Duration of deactivation.

Article 335 of the Penal Code stipulates that if the act results in cutting or removing an organ or amputating one of the limbs, the perpetrator shall be punished with temporary hard labor for a period not exceeding 10 years.

The punishment of the perpetrator may be increased because of these crimes in order to deter him and achieve security in society, and because of the ugliness of the crime and its occurrence on a 16-year-old boy.

As for the punishment of the perpetrators of the crime of Al-Zarqa, the death penalty for the perpetrators of the crime of Zarqa is unlikely because the adaptation of the offense is the occurrence of a permanent disability, and since the events of permanent disability were deliberate and not an act that led to its occurrence, the court will spend a maximum of 10 years on the perpetrators (in my opinion and after discussing with a penal law scholar) https: // t .co / zZqDcldJFB
