Report: Judge Requests Death Penalty for Roland Chbeir's Killer
Examining Magistrate Judge Ziad Makna demanded in his indictment the death penalty against the killer of 22-year-old Roland Chbeir, who was murdered on October 28 by his friend.
Al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Tuesday that Makna accused Charbel Shallita of committing a premeditated crime.
Shallita had confessed earlier of committing the crime for financial reasons.
Chbeir went missing on October 24 after Shallita lured his friend to an empty area in Jbeil on allegations that he wanted to sell him a piece of land, then he shot him twice in the back.
The killer had even attended the victim's funeral in Fidar where he sat with Chbeir's family members.
Internal Security Forces found the hunting rifle that Shallita used to carry out his crime, which he borrowed from a friend, in addition to Chbeir's mobile phone and blood-soaked clothes.
