Brothers detained over alleged blade attack to force Matariya trader to sell shop

Public prosecutors have ordered two brothers detained for four days pending an investigation into an alleged attack on a shop owner in Matariya.

The men, both described as unemployed, are accused of assaulting the trader with bladed weapons inside his shop.

The alleged attack was intended to force the owner to sell the premises. The complaint against the brothers was brought by the shop owner.

The detention order is a preliminary measure while prosecutors investigate the accusations, not a conviction.
