BEIRUT: An arrest warrant was issued
Thursday for the killer of a 67-year-old money changer in the southern city of
Sidon earlier this week.
Sidon’s investigative magistrate
Afif Barakat issued an arrest warrant for 22-year-old Syrian national Nasser
Fares, who killed money changer Mohammad al-Natout during a robbery Tuesday.
Barakat said he will move quickly to
close the investigation so that Fares is put on trial at the earliest possible
opportunity.
A lifeless Natout was found Tuesday
morning in his establishment, located on the main Beirut-Sidon highway.
Preliminary indications are that he was stabbed to death.
Fares, who stole $5,000 in cash from Natout’s
store, was arrested while attempting to flee to Syria by taxi, security sources
told The Daily Star following his apprehension a few hours later. They said
Fares confessed to the murder.http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Local-News/2012/Mar-01/165175-arrest-warrant-issued-for-sidon-killer.ashx#axzz1nr6UypeJ
