The Internal Security Forces had summoned and interrogated Christo Al-Fatta, who admitted that the bodies belonged to four of his siblings and his father. He revealed that one sibling died on July 27, and his mother, who is in her nineties, was still alive.

Christo also disclosed that there was a will specifying the burial of family members at the home. Forensic experts have collected DNA samples from the bodies to confirm that they all belong to the same family.

The forensic examination of Elias Al-Fatta’s body revealed that the death was natural. The burial of the bodies in the home’s room had reportedly been occurring since 1986.
