On Sunday, Nov. 5, at 10:30 pm, a sophomore student from Admas College was killed by a federal police officer on Bole Road.
According to sources, Bereket Hadgu, 24, was shot through the back while walking with friends, who were talking and laughing loudly. No words were ever exchanged between the policeman and his victim.
The officer, who has reportedly been taken into custody, has claimed that the gun “misfired” while he was hitting another student with the butt of the weapon. However, witnesses confirm that the shot was fired intentionally and without provocation.
The body of the student was returned Monday to his parents in Mekele, Northern Ethiopia.
