On February 29, 2024, the General Directorate of Internal Security Forces - Public Relations Division issued the following statement: A body of an unidentified Indian national, known as "Jesse," was found in the Dekwaneh area after falling from the fourth floor.

On the same date, a patrol from the branch managed to arrest the suspect in Dekwaneh, with visible bruises on his face. During the initial investigation, he denied his involvement in the murder, but after being confronted with evidence implicating him, he confessed to committing the crime.
