Lassa Shooter Hands himself over to Security Forces
The man who shot and killed two locals from the Jbeil town of Lassa handed himself over to security forces after the family of the victims had blocked roads in protest against the murder.
Information obtained by al-Jadeed television said that the assailant had handed himself over to the concerned security authorities.
Ghassan Seifeddine and his son Hadi were killed during an individual dispute, which erupted after a traffic accident, in the Wata al-Joz region on Thursday.
Investigations revealed the attacker as Anthony Khalil Khalil, who fled the scene soon after the shooting.
On Friday, relatives of the victims in Lassa blocked the Mayrouba-Wata al-Joz road to demand the arrest of Khalil.
In Beirut, a number of youths blocked the Hadi Nasrallah highway with burning tires to also demand Khalil's arrest.
A similar protest was held in the town of Ain in the northern Bekaa, said al-Jadeed.
All the roads have since been reopened.
