Internal Security Forces have arrested two men who seized the body of their relative from Emile al-Bitar hospital in Batroun after refusing to pay the hospital bill.
Samer Farhat and Marwan Beshara were arrested on Monday near Fouad Shehab stadium in Jounieh.
Earlier in the day, they went to hospital to take delivery of the body of Elias Sherfan who had died a day earlier in a traffic accident on the Batroun highway.
However, when staff refused to hand over the body before settling the hospital bill, the two men ransacked the emergency ward, and took the body by force after breaking the morgue’s door.
ISF later went after the two men and stopped them while the funeral convoy was on its way to burry Sherfan.
