Father of Tunisian Killer Ashamed Of His Son’s Actions

His father Hakim Rezgui reportedly said he was “shocked” by what happened and did not know who “put these ideas in his (son’s) head” and “warped his mind”, according to a Sky news report.

He said he was “really sorry”, was “so ashamed” and felt like he had died along with the victims.

Mr Rezgui and three of his son’s roommates at university have been detained and were being questioned in the capital Tunis.
Investigators are searching for one or more accomplices in the attack, according to one official.

A phone found by a swimmer reportedly showed the gunman called his father just before the assault and authorities believe the suspected accomplices provided the Kalashnikov assault rifle to Rezgui.
