2 Held after Stabbing Young Man to Death in Ashrafieh
A young man died of his wounds on Tuesday evening after being stabbed by two men during a brawl in Beirut's Ashrafieh district, media reports said.
“Marcelino Zamata was sitting in his car with his fiancee on the side of the road in Sassine Square when a verbal dispute erupted between him and two young men who were passing in the area on a motorcycle,” LBCI television said.
“The verbal dispute soon escalated into a fistfight during which the two young men stabbed him several times,” it added.
The two assailants fled the area before being eventually arrested by an undercover police patrol, the TV network said, identifying them as 19-year-old Palestinian national Ahmed Saad and 31-year-old Lebanese citizen Hassan Faqih.
The victim was rushed to the nearby Rizk Hospital where he soon succumbed to his injuries, LBCI said.
Other media reports have said that the brawl erupted after the two men addressed sexual harassment words to Marcelino's fiancee.

RIP Mr. Zamata and may the good Lord guide your family in such sorrow times.
You're right @lebexile, the actions of few scums of one's sect should not reflect on the majority of same sect.
This is a senseless murder.

While I am not for stereotyping, I also disagree with your characterization "the few". They are not few, they are the majority and most of them are HA followers and are emoboldened by HA'a arrogance.

The hypocrite! The kidnappers of the Turkish pilots are just but a few; the kidnappers of the Czech journalists are just but a few; the zoaiters are just but a few; the war of drug lords going on in baalback right now is just but a few; the assassins of the family in bted3ai are just but a few; the hariri assassins are just but a few; those firing bullets before during and after nassrallah speeches are just but a few; stop defending them. You are one of them.

Inferior cultures at work, motivated by jealousy and frustration, do yo know that the highest gay ratios prevails in the countries inhabited by those scumbags?
