ADEN, June 12 (YPA) -Aden police revealed on Monday new details on murdering the son of director of anti-drug unit inside a security department in Yemen’s southern port city of Aden.

According to media sources, quoting security sources, the son of Muharram al-Darmali was detained at the al-Arish police station pending a drug trafficking case, noting that al-Darmali’s son, who is also an officer in the anti-drug unit, was killed inside the department and then dumped his body on the city’s coast.
