A man is suspected of killing his two teenage daughters Thursday in the rural commune of Al-Ouinat, on the outskirts of the eastern city of Jerada, according to informed sources.

The victims, aged approximately 16 and 17, reportedly died after sustaining fatal injuries inflicted with a sharp tool, sources said. The suspect, their father, allegedly attacked the two girls inside the family home, causing injuries that proved deadly.

Sources close to the investigation suggested the crime may be linked to family-related motives, noting that the suspect’s wife has reportedly disappeared following the incident. Authorities have not officially confirmed the motive.

After the killings, the suspect fled the scene to an unknown destination. Security services have launched an intensive search operation and opened a judicial investigation under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor to determine the full circumstances of the case and apprehend the suspect.

The bodies of the two victims were transferred to the morgue pending completion of forensic examinations and ongoing judicial procedures.

The case has shocked residents of the area and renewed concern over domestic violence and violent crimes within family settings.
