YANBU: A 26-year-old security officer shot himself yesterday in the town of Yanbu Al-Nakhil, some 50 kilometers from Yanbu city.
Police said S. Al-Alouni shot himself in the neck using his police gun. He died immediately. Police discovered the body after they were contacted by the officer’s family members saying that they heard a gunshot from the man’s room.
Police said Al-Alouni had taken his own life and that he had some psychological problems. The 26-year-old had escaped unhurt in a traffic accident last Wednesday.
Meanwhile, security officials yesterday arrested two men who claimed they were policemen inside the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu.
Police said the two men were stopped for routine checks, but they did not have registration documents for the car they were in. When asked about this, one of the men said he was a police officer. Officers checked his identity and found no record of him.
The two men have not been identified. One of them, however, is thought to be from the Eastern Province. The pair have also been charged with driving an unlicensed car.
