“His brother, Suleiman, was driving another car, but they were moving into the estate together. The problem started when the two cars attempted to overtake the Rear Admiral’s convoy – a sport utility vehicle and a Toyota Hilux van – because they were traveling too slowly.

“Before anyone knew what was going on, the soldiers got out as if they were in the front, dragged the two men out of their cars and started beating them up.
