Sidon’s Examining Magistrate Mounif Barakat demanded the death penalty for the Syrian who stabbed a Lebanese man in the southern port city, the National News Agency reported on Monday.
According to the agency, Barakat called in his indictment for the death penalty against Nasser Mohammed Hassan al-Fares, 22, for stabbing to death money exchange shop owner Mohammed al-Natout, 66, and stealing $5,000 from him on February 29.
Fares will be referred to the criminal court in Sidon to go on trial, after he allegedly confessed to the crime.
A taxi driver has been a key element in resolving the case, and was offered a financial reward.
Meanwhile, Military Examining Magistrate Riyad Abu Ghida called on executing George and Michel Tanelian, who are accused of killing 4 people, mostly taxi drivers.
In November, the Internal Security Forces detained five Syrian brothers in a raid on an apartment in al-Nabaa over the attacks on 11 people.
All four victims had been shot in the head with a 7.85mm pistol, including army Corporal Ziad Hani Deeb.

Well try the criminals with crime, this the only system of stone age people, just like The Zionist, Syrian regime and others who use retaliation and hate to commit another crime.

It is an odd society where the murderers of a few are punished but mass murderers go free (Huzb Allah assassination crew, those that shot down the Lebanese army helicopter and those behind the assassinations of many and bombings after the Cedar revolution).
