AMMAN — Police are searching for a suspect who allegedly stabbed a 33-year-old man, whose body was found in a waste dumpster on Wednesday.

Passers-by found the body on Wednesday evening in a garbage bin in the Naour area south of Amman, Public Security Department Spokesperson Major Amer Sartawi said.

Initial investigation indicated that the victim was reportedly stabbed by a truck driver over a dispute, Sartawi told The Jordan Times.

“We have an idea about the identity of the suspect and our units are conducting an extensive search to find him,” the police official added.

Police have summoned several individuals for questioning to help solve the murder, according to Sartawi.

“We are questioning several people and more are expected to be summoned to help us in this investigation.”

An official post-mortem is expected on Thursday, a second official told The Jordan Times.
