According to police sources, the Bangladeshi appeared at the police station in a frightened state in the early hours. He told the officers on duty that he had killed a Yemeni expatriate in the Muttla area.
Earlier, the body of the Yemeni expatriate was recovered with his throat slit from a house in Muttla city.
On receiving the news, members of the security forces cordoned off the scene. Later, representatives of the public prosecution, members of the crime investigation department and a forensic team examined the scene and recovered the body.
According to police, during preliminary questioning the accused Bangladeshi said that the Yemeni had sprayed water on his body. Enraged by this, he attacked him and killed him by slitting his throat.
