A Lebanese man set ablaze the body of an Indian worker after killing him in the Keserwan town of Okaibe, the Internal Security Forces said on Thursday.

“The burned body of Indian worker S. K., 60, was found in his room at his workplace in the Okaibe area,” the ISF said.

“He was hit with a sharp object on the head and nose,” the ISF added.

Following extensive investigations that lasted only several hours, the Jounieh judicial police department managed to arrest a man suspected of murdering the Indian worker, the ISF said, identifying the suspect as 37-year-old Lebanese man A. S.

“During interrogation, the suspect confessed to killing the victim due to personal work-related disputes,” the ISF added.

“He confessed to hitting him with a sharp object – a plier -- before setting the room ablaze with a candle and locking the door,” it said.
