Murder on Hadda Street [Archives:1999/25/Local News]

Exactly two week’s after Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Saqqaf’s tragic death in the same street, in exactly the same place and at the same time of the day someone else was killed, but this time by the sharp cold blade of the dagger. As witnesses described the incident, an argument between Qais and another man lead to heated tensions in a cafe near Al-Shaibani Restaurant in Hadda Street. As Qais was walking away from the cafe, the man stabbed him in his upper back with his “jambia.” Eyewitness accounts state that Qais fell dead immediately. The killer ran and found refuge in a Sheikh’s villa. However, by 8:00 pm of the same day, the Sheikh has submitted another person as hostage, until the time when he will hand over the killer. However, at this writing, the killer has not yet been turned over to authorities. The victim’s father sent a letter to the president pleading for help in bringing justice to this case, and in arresting the killer.
