The director-general of the Kalansuwa Municipality was shot dead late on
Wednesday night.
The murder victim, Viam Zamiro, was shot while sitting
in his car in the center of Kalansuwa. He died instantly, paramedics
said.
The shooting took place minutes after he had finished playing a
soccer game, police said.
Zamiro, 36, was married and had two
children.
His brother was shot and wounded several months ago while
sitting at a cafe.
Police said every lead was being examined, and have
not ruled out the possibility that the shooting could be linked to Zamiro’s
work, or alternatively a personal conflict.
Police are concerned about
the high number of shootings that have taken place in the Triangle region, east
of Netanya, in recent months.
The numbers of patrol officers has been
increased and police are carry out frequent arms raids in an effort to stem the
violence.
