Manouba prosecutors are holding a boy accused of murdering his father

The Prosecutor General of Manouba's Primary Court has authorized the custody of a 16-year-old child on suspicion of committing a murder that targeted his father following a family dispute inside the night valley.

The data suggests a family feud erupted inside the residence, where the son allegedly beat his father and assaulted him with a hammer, hitting him in the head and killing him on the spot.

National Guard units intervened in Manouba to surround the scene as soon as it happened, and the guards were able to apprehend the suspect boy within a short time, taking control of the place for the lifting of remains and initial inspections.

Competent security and judicial authorities continue to complete investigations and direct necessary legal proceedings with the suspect, in order to uncover all the circumstances and identify the underlying motives behind the crime.
