Authorities locate suspect who stabbed Marka school teacher

The spokesperson for the Public Security Directorate (PSD) announced that a Criminal Investigation Department (CID) unit successfully located the individual who stabbed a teacher inside a school under the jurisdiction of the Marka Police Center on Wednesday morning.

The spokesperson explained that the suspect fled the scene immediately after the attack and went into hiding.

A dedicated CID team conducted an extensive search, gathering information over several days, which led to the identification of his hiding place in a western Balqa area. This morning, a raid was executed, and investigations commenced to prepare for his referral to the judiciary.

The suspect had entered the school days earlier and stabbed the teacher with a sharp object. The teacher was promptly taken to the hospital, received appropriate treatment, and was discharged after making a full recovery.
