The statement, released Thursday afternoon, identified the suspect as Hussein Khodr Braytea.
Zaher was reportedly killed with a knife by two of his neighbors in Hay al-Sellom in Beirut's southern suburbs, local media outlet LBCI reported. However, the Army did not mention another suspect in its investigation.
