Judiciary Charges 12 Accused in Yves Naufal Murder
The judiciary on Wednesday charged those accused of killing Yves Naufal with several offenses, some of which are punishable by death.
LBCI TV reported that “the public prosecution has charged those accused in Yves Naufal's case with offenses that are punishable by death.”
MTV clarified that “twelve arrest warrants have been issued for those involved in the Kfardebian crime -- 6 for those in custody and 6 in absentia.”
On January 9, state-run National News Agency had reported that Yves and “his friend, Saba Nader, were having a night out in one of Faraya's Oyoun al-Siman restaurants where a dispute between him and two other men took place over a girl who was in the same restaurant.”
“The dispute ended quickly and Naufal left the place,” it added.
But the two other men followed Naufal and his friend to a “Total” gas station on Oyoun al-Siman’s road, shooting at them from a pistol and a Kalashnikov assault rifle, the agency said.
Last Wednesday, the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Branch arrested in the northern Bekaa town of Brital Charbel George Khalil, who has been described as the main suspect in the crime.
