By Xinhua,
Amman : Jordan’s State Security Court (SSC) postponed the trial of a 35-year-old man accused of stabbing a German tourist in mid-March, local daily Jordan Times reported on Monday.
The court decided to delay the trial till July 9, since Mohammad Barham, the defendant, was not admitted to the National Institute for Psychiatric Medicine (NIPM) for mental evaluation, a judicial source said.
Barham is charged of terrorist acts in connection with the stabbing of a 63-year-old German tourist in downtown Amman on March 14.
In early May, Barham’s lawyer provided the court with a report indicating that Barham had a history of mental illness. The SSC decided to refer the defendant to the NIPM for evaluation.
