Son of anti-drugs unit officer murdered in Aden

Aden police has revealed on Monday new details on the murder of the son of a director of the anti-drug unit in Aden.

According to media sources, quoting security sources, the son of Muharram al-Darmali was detained at the al-Arish police station pending a drug trafficking case, noting that al-Darmali’s son, who is also an officer in the anti-drug unit, was killed inside the department and then dumped his body on the city’s coast.

Media sources had earlier reported that the body of al-Daramli’s son was found on the coast of the province with signs of torture on his body.

The sources suggested that the liquidation of al-Darmali was carried out by senior leaders in the Southern Transitional Council (STC), following a drug struggle.

It is noteworthy that Al-Daramli was dismissed from the command of the anti-drugs unit two days before the killing of his son, being replaced by another official from the Security Belt force affiliated with STC.
