Shafaq News/ The Criminal Court of Karbala sentenced the citizen who killed the head of Karbala Municipality, Abeer al-Khafaji, to death, a source revealed on Sunday.
The source told Shafaq News Agency the court convened this morning to reach a ruling in the case of the assassination of al-Khafaji.
Al-Khafaji succumbed to the wounds he sustained after being cold-bloodedly shot, along with two other municipality employees, by a man who built an establishment on state-owned land without authorization.
Al-Khafaji was overlooking a campaign to remove the violations to Karbala's urban planning when the crime took place.
His assassination unfolded to a governorate-wide campaign to complete this conquest and remove unauthorized establishments from the state lands per orders by PM Mustafa al-Kadhimi himself.
