Libya reveals three suspects linked to killing of Gaddafi’s son
Libyan prosecutors on Thursday said they have identified three suspects in the killing of the son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, though authorities did not reveal the identities of those involved.
According to investigators, Seif al‑Islam Gaddafi, who was once viewed by some observers as a possible successor to his father, was shot dead inside his residence in the north-western Libyan city of Zintan in early February.
The prosecutor’s office said ongoing investigations had uncovered key details surrounding the incident. Officials explained that they were able to determine the meeting location of the suspects, the time they allegedly travelled to the crime scene and carried out the attack.
In a statement, the office added that investigators have also established the identities of three individuals believed to be connected to the killing, although their names were not made public.
The office added in the statement on Facebook that it had ordered their arrest.
While he held no official position in the North African country under his father’s rule, Seif al-Islam had been described as Libya’s de facto prime minister, cultivating an image of moderation and reform prior to the 2011 Arab Spring revolt.
But that reputation soon collapsed when he promised “rivers of blood” in the face of the uprisings.
Following a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity, he was arrested by Libyan authorities in 2011.
A Tripoli court later sentenced him to death but he was granted amnesty.
Marcel Ceccaldi, a French lawyer who had been representing Seif al-Islam, told AFP he was killed by a “four-man commando” who stormed his house.
