Tunis (IINA) – Three Tunisians have been sentenced to death for murdering an unarmed young policeman as he returned home after his shift, AFP reported citing a prosecutor on Wednesday.
A fourth man, who is on the run, was sentenced to 22 years in jail for "inciting and helping to commit terrorist crimes", in reference to the January murder.
The four were convicted Tuesday of cutting the throat of the 23-year-old policeman in El Fahs, about 60 km southwest of the capital Tunis.
Aged 21 to 26, the three condemned to death were also given prison sentences ranging between 10 and 22 years for belonging to a terrorist group and incitement to commit terrorist crimes.
The three were also ordered to pay 20,000 dinars (around 9,000 euros) to their victim's parents and a total of 25,000 dinars to his five siblings.
