Capital police authorities launched an active manhunt Wednesday following a parricide in northern Amman, alongside a separate probe into a fatal residential fire in the city’s east, according to a Public Security Directorate (PSD) spokesperson.

Law enforcement units rushed to the Tariq district after the North Amman operations room received an early morning dispatch reporting a suspect who stabbed his father inside their family residence. The victim succumbed to his injuries shortly after the assault, prompting homicide detectives to initiate search operations to locate and apprehend the perpetrator.

In a separate incident in eastern Amman, Civil Defense Directorate (CDD) firefighting crews extinguished a blaze that broke out inside an apartment unit in the Quwaismeh area.

First responders evacuated the body of a female victim from the scene to a nearby hospital, while arson investigators and forensic teams opened an inquiry to establish the cause of the fire.
