Officer involved in shooting of Bedouin man said to be placed under house arrest
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe officer suspected of fatally shooting a Bedouin man in Tarabin al-Sana has been put under five-day house arrest and barred from all police stations for a week, Channel 12 news reports.
He was interrogated this morning by the Department for Internal Police Investigations, after the agency launched an investigation into the incident.
The shooting of Muhammad Hussein Tarabin, 36, occurred last night in the southern Bedouin village, during an operation by a “special unit” in the police and Border Police’s National Guard force.
Police say the slain man posed a threat to the forces. His family denies this and claims that he was shot by officers without provocation after opening his front door.
