The Jordanian public opinion lived through until dawn on Monday its very dramatic and highly tense night security-wise after recorded scenes showed the criminal in the case of the university student Iman Ershid’s murder attempting suicide by shooting himself after he was surrounded in one of the private farms by security forces concerned with pursuing him for five consecutive days, in a manner that seems cinematic and very provocative.

The killer appeared in a widely circulated video squatting and raising his pistol to his right temple facing security negotiators who were trying to persuade him to surrender.
But the killer in this crime that shook the conscience of the Jordanian street refused to surrender, then quickly shot himself in the head and fell to the ground before being transferred to the hospital, losing all vital functions according to a late statement issued by the spokesperson of the Public Security.
.
The death of the killer has not been officially announced nor his survival, but it is very difficult for him to survive the suicide attempt in which he ended his life while burying with him the secret of his extremely strange crime, the details of which have not yet been revealed.
What happened after Sunday afternoon in the town of Balama in eastern Jordan unveils that heinous crime for public opinion and shows the professionalism levels in the concerned security agencies, but the killer’s suicide and later his clinical death do not answer the urgent questions in the depth of society, most importantly why he committed the crime and what the main motives were.

It is a critical question that can also be sensed from the phrases issued in the Public Security statement where the killer is described as a professional with skills who managed to disguise himself and evade security for several days before being surrounded, and also managed to deceive and mislead the university security, enter it, and shoot six bullets at the late girl Iman Rashid. The nature of this crime necessitates Jordanians and official authorities to understand its motives that remain mysterious until now, as there is talk about a professional killer who committed a deliberate and methodical crime and tried to escape the consequences.
He planned every detail of his crime, including escape, and there is also talk about shooting himself to bury the secret his crime carries regarding its motives, at least with him upon his departure.
To avoid suspicions about the killing of the criminal or his being shot in the head by security forces’ weapons, the official spokesperson of the Public Security stated that the criminal, when surrounded, shot a bullet specifically to his right temple.
Following this statement, the Kingdom’s satellite channel announced near midnight that the killer is clinically dead, meaning he has not passed away definitively yet, which appears to increase the complexity of this crime, and the door remains open in any case to continue investigations until the motives become clear.
However, the appropriate tribal procedures for such cases have not yet emerged, and the authorities are taking security precautions in the areas of the criminal and the victim in anticipation of any repercussions. The legal scholars do not know what the killer, now classified as clinically dead, means, while the victim’s tribe demands more than just declaring his clinical death and the shooting of himself in front of the hospital. Everyone is eagerly trying to know the motives of this crime and on what basis it was committed.
