The Court of Cassation upheld a death sentence for a defendant charged with killing two people in the Gaza Camp in Jerash.

The Grand Criminal Court had convicted the defendant of premeditated murder under Article 328/1 of the Penal Code.

The killings happened after a dispute over money. The victims had forced the defendant to sign a document promising to pay them JD 20,000. The defendant turned resentful and decided to kill the victims.

In November 2023, the defendant went to the area where the victims lived, wearing a heavy coat and a mask to hide his face. He waited until the victims came outside, then shot them both.

The first victim was shot in the chest from close range, and the second victim was shot in the back from a distance.

Both victims died after being taken to the hospital.
