The father of Toulouse gunman Mohamed Merah has hired an Algerian lawyer to sue French special police over his son’s death, BBC News reported, citing the French media.
Mohamed Merah, 23, killed seven people, including three children, in southern France before he was shot dead in a siege at his home last week.
Algiers-based lawyer Zahia Mokhtari told French media Mohamed Benalal Merah considered his son had been murdered.
Merah’s plan to sue the state drew criticism from French politicians.
“If I were the father of such a monster, I would shut my mouth in shame,” French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Tuesday.
Ms Mokhtari told the AFP news agency that a convention signed between France and Algeria allows lawyers to pursue cases in both countries.
