Irbid Criminal Investigation Police and forensic laboratories identified and arrested the driver, who ran down and killed a police officer, and four accomplices during a raid of an apartment in Amman on Saturday, the Public security Department (PSD) said. The PSD media spokesperson said investigation teams acted after the hit-and-run incident Friday evening in which the driver ran over police sergeant Mohammad Abu Askar as he tried to stop the vehicle while on duty, and fled the scene. The abandoned vehicle was seized and a search led detectives to the identity of the driver and the four occupants, who were arrested during the raid of the apartment in the East Amman neighborhood of Jabal Al-Nasser, he said. The driver confessed to "deliberately running over the officer multiple times", he said, adding that the case was referred to the Criminal Court prosecutor, who remanded the driver and an accomplice in a reform and rehabilitation center on murder charges and resisting police.
