The Internal Security Forces announced its officers have arrested a suspect in the killing of a man whose headless body was found inside a factory in the town of Abu Mizan, Bikfaya, last week.

 The body of the victim, an Indian citizen born in 1977 who was identified only by his initials, A.S., was found on July 21.

The suspect, also an Indian national born in 1977, and who was identified by the initials S.K., was arrested in the same town after officers found traces of blood in his residence, the ISF statement said.

The suspect confessed that he had "planned to kill the victim due to material disputes," the ISF said. At dawn on July 21, the suspect had allegedly moved the victim, who was "in a severe state of drunkenness," from the room where they were staying to a nearby stone factory, where he "hit him with a rock and then cut his head with a sharp object."

The case has been referred to the competent judiciary.
