TAIZ (Debriefer)--The West Taiz Court on Wednesday handed down death sentences to five persons after convicting them of killing Col. Radhwan Al-Odayni, the commander of the Osbah Brigade, which was one of the popular resistance brigades supporting the government forces against the Houthis.
It ordered to execute them by firing squad, a judicial source said, without giving their names or when they will be executed.
Al-Odayni was shot dead in the Al-Jomhouri Neighbourhood in downtown Taiz city in June 2018.
His killing coincided with a security campaign to hunt terrorists and outlaws within the efforts of the authorities to restore peace to Yemen's cultural capital.
