The Internal Security Forces arrested  an alleged murderer, his son and an accomplice, after a dispute in Nabatieh led to the stabbing of a man.

A conflict reportedly broke out Monday between two Lebanese nationals identified as M.S. and M.F., born in 1970 and 1977 respectively, in the town of Sharqieh, over the destruction of an agricultural field that had been planted on public property.

The dispute turned violent, after M.S. stabbed M.F. in the heart, leading to his death, the ISF statement said.

M.S. was arrested by the ISF and reportedly admitted to stabbing the victim with a knife. His son, Aa.S., born in 2001, and a Lebanese national identified as H.H., born in 1998, were also arrested as suspected accomplices to the crime.
