JAZAN — A 53-year-old Pakistani construction worker was arrested after allegedly murdering his co-worker by stabbing him three times in the neck. A witness identified as Amanullah said Taj Mohammad killed their colleague while he was operating a tractor. The murderer went up to the victim and stabbed him with a knife in front of co-workers, he said. There were around 100 witnesses and they held him down and disarmed him before they called police. Another witness, Asghar Ali, said the murderer and the victim used to live in the same apartment three months ago before they were allocated different apartments. There was no conflict or dispute between the two, while Mohammad was a person who always led the prayers for them in their compound, he said. Jazan Police spokesman Capt. Abdulrahman Al-Zahrani confirmed the man was arrested and the victim's body was taken to Jazan Hospital's morgue until investigations are over.
