Tripoli: Restraining measures imposed on 13-year-old
Meanwhile, the investigator and prosecutor imposed restraining measures on the 13-year-old, which means one of the two children will need to change school environments. However, both families are trying to lower tensions to calm the situation. “Everything will be fine for both children, may they both be well. I want things to get back on track now, he’s surely remorseful, of course. After all, what person does something and isn’t remorseful?”, said the perpetrator’s father.
