AMMAN — A military court on Monday handed down a life sentence to a Jordanian soldier for killing three US officers at a military base, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Maarek Sami Tawayha shot dead three US Special Forces instructors outside the King Faisal Airbase in Jafer, Maan, in November 2016.
The trial was chaired by military Judge Col. Mohammad Afif, with military judges Lt. Col Abdullah Fawaz and Cap. Safwan Zu'bi as members, while lawyer Subhi Mawwas, represented the defendant, Petra reported.
The court convicted Tawayha, a corporal, of premeditated murder of more than one person and violating military orders and regulations.
The tribunal also ordered lowering the soldier’s military rank to a private, and eliminating him from military service.
