Sajf al-Islam Gaddafi, boy of erstwhile Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, was murdered, which confirmed a origin close to his household on Tuesday in a conversation with RT.
He was killed by 4 people, “who rapidly fled the scene after shooting him in his garden”, informed the household origin in an interview with Al Arabiya.
According to media reports, Gaddafi has been hiding in Libya for the past fewer years.
In 2015, the Libyan court sentenced Sajf al-Islam to death punishment for his engagement in suppressing protests during the 2011 riots that led to the collapse of his father's government.
The global Criminal Court has accused him separately of crimes against humanity.
Sajf al-Islam was released in 2017 as part of amnesty.
In 2021, he registered as a candidate in the December presidential election, but the vote yet broke as a consequence of a political stalemate.
Muammar Gaddafi took power in the 1969 coup and ruled a oil-rich country until his assassination in 2011 by rebels supported by military intervention under US command.
Since then Libya has been experiencing periodic civilian wars and remains divided between rival governments in the west and east of the country.
The presidential and parliamentary elections were repeatedly postponed due to persistent political tensions.
