The last amateur video of Gaddafi’s son Mutassim, who was captured together with his father, shows him alive in custody, and even casually smoking a cigarette. However, other images show him dead with gunshot wounds to his neck and abdomen.
The photos and videos released depict the arrested Mutassim sitting against a wall, drinking water, smoking and even speaking to his captors. He is apparently injured as his vest is stained with blood but his life does not seem in danger. He is also pictured lying on a sofa.
In other images, however, Gaddafi’s loyal son is shown sprawled out on the floor, completely lifeless with shots visible in his neck and abdomen. The circumstances of his death remain unclear.
NTC information officer Mahmoud Shammam said: “Mutassim is dead. I can confirm it.”
