Libyan prosecutors say they are investigating the killing of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the country’s long-time leader Col Muammar Gaddafi.
The 53-year-old, who was once widely seen as his father’s heir apparent, was killed during a “direct confrontation” with four unknown gunmen who broke into his home in the city of Zintan, his office said in a statement.
“The victim died from wounds by gunfire,” Libyan prosecutors said on Wednesday, adding that efforts were under way to identify the gunmen.
In a different version of events, his sister told Libyan TV that he had died near the country’s border with Algeria.”
