Al-Qaa police unit arrested Wednesday a Syrian national who had allegedly murdered his brother identified as 26-year-old Uday al-Ali, whose body was found earlier this month inside a hole in Masharee Al-Qaa.
The suspect admitted to the charges and to strangling his brother inside a tent in Masharee al-Qaa with his bare hands, and to using a scarf to hang his body from a tree over a family dispute.
He also confessed that his 48-year-old neighbor, identified as M.M., helped him after the suspect convinced him that Uday hung himself.
The two then buried the body in a hole.
