Kahil's Murderers Could Face 15 Years in Prison

The two suspects charged with the murder of Major Rabih Kahil could face up to 15 years in jail, reported LBCI television on Tuesday.

Military Examining Magistrate Judge Riyad Abou Ghida issued an indictment against the two suspects on Tuesday.

If convicted, Elie and Hisham Daou could face up to 15 years in prison.

Hisham Daou was charged with opening fire at Kahil, hitting him in the leg four times.

Elie Daou is charged with interfering in the accident.

Kahil died in hospital after succumbing to the wounds sustained in the shooting that took place in Bdadoun.

The dispute erupted after the two suspects arrived in a car and asked Kahil to leave the area, although he identified himself as an army officer.

A fistfight ensued before one of the men, Hisham Daou, opened fire at Kahil from a weapon equipped with a silencer.
