Investigation

A source close to the investigation has said that forensic department officers found a metal rod and a wooden bat at the scene, which were immediately taken for expert examination. It is suspected that those objects are the murder weapons.

"The victim had gruesome injuries. It is suspected that he may not have been killed on Monday. The body was lying on a bed," said our source.

The building where the body was found, near number 19, is known as a place where homeless people and drug addicts stay, the neighbors said. They only found out that a crime had taken place when they saw the police and the ambulance.

The Higher Public Prosecution has ordered an autopsy and a toxicology report to determine the exact cause and time of death.

The police have conducted an investigation of the scene and are now working to identify the perpetrator or perpetrators of this serious crime.
