An Asian worker in his thirties committed suicide by hanging himself in his residence in the area of jurisdiction of Al Raffa Police Station.

The security authorities received a report from the worker's neighbours stating that he had been absent from work and home for several days. It was later revealed that he committed suicide in his home after he tied his neck with a rope to his room fan without leaving any note about the reasons that led him to suicide.

Colonel Jumah Khalfan Bin Suhail Al Muhairi, Deputy Director of Al Raffa Police Station, stated that specialists from Al Raffa Police Station and the on-duty prosecutor moved to the scene after the report showed that the victim’s room had been closed for three days.

In the meantime, security patrols went to search for the victim at his workplace but investigations showed that he had not left his room. Based on this, the investigation team went to his residence and broke the door to be surprised by the victim hanging himself.

The patrols together with forensic experts, search and investigation officers from the General Department of Criminal Investigations moved immediately to the Al Raffa Police Station to inspect the crime scene, hear the testimonies of witnesses and assign forensic teams to examine the body and collect fingerprints.

The investigations revealed that the Asian victim came to his rented room alone, took off his shoes and left his mobile phone on the balcony before committing suicide.

Al Muhairi stated that the preliminary investigations indicated that there was no criminal suspicion about the accident and that the surveillance cameras and the forensic examinations confirmed that the Asian victim committed suicide on his own accord for reasons of his own.
