The curtain was drawn on one of the most painful incidents that shook Diyala province, Iraq, after a mysterious family tragedy turned into a shocking end, with the former director of the water resources' son committing suicide by hanging, just days after causing his father's death in an incident that launched a widespread wave of sadness and astonishment.
A security source reported that the former director of water resources in Al-Muqdadiyah district, Hashim Zaini Al-Tamimi's son was found dead inside his grandfather's house in the Al-Amraniyah area northeast of Baqubah, after he had hanged himself, severely affected by a psychological condition that followed the first incident.
Last week, Diyala witnessed the incident of the killing of the former director of water resources, Hashim Zaini Al-Tamimi, after being shot by his son inside their home in Al-Muqdadiyah district, in an incident initially described as mysterious, before preliminary investigations revealed that the son was suffering from chronic psychological disorders.
According to the Iraqi National News Agency, the investigations indicated that the shooting was not planned criminally but occurred in the context of an unstable psychological state, which opened the door to widespread questions about the circumstances of the incident and its psychological repercussions on the family.
Local sources explained to Iraqi media that the son lived days of psychological breakdown after his father's death amid feelings of shock and guilt, before he decided to end his life, in a tragic scene that deepened the family's wounds and brought the incident back to the forefront of public attention.
Meanwhile, the security authorities in Diyala province announced an extensive investigation into both incidents in order to uncover all details and motives, and to complete the legal procedures according to established frameworks, at a time when sadness prevailed among the residents of the area.
