SANAA, YEMEN – APRIL 6, 2013 Tragic incident occurred at the Kamarān Dam reservoir in the Bait Baws area on the outskirts of Yemen’s capital. 22-year-old Haytham Muhammad Da’an and his 17-year-old wife went there to spend a day together by the water. However, their outing ended in tragedy.
According to reports from the time, the couple recorded themselves using a cell phone that they placed on elevated ground near the reservoir. At first, they played together in the water, but the situation suddenly changed, and both began fighting for their lives. Despite calling for help, they were unable to reach the shore, and both drowned. The entire incident was captured by their own phone.
Their bodies were later discovered by special forces divers, who recovered them from the water several hours later. The investigation also revealed disturbing circumstances. Three young men who were reportedly witnesses to the tragedy allegedly failed to help the couple. Instead, they reportedly stole their personal belongings, and one of them subsequently posted the footage of the drowning online.
According to local authorities, the Kamarān Dam reservoir had already been the site of numerous similar tragedies. Following the deaths of the newlyweds, the provincial governor therefore ordered the reservoir to be fenced off and security surveillance to be increased.
