Ahmed Gaddafi, cousin of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, released an account that he claims details the final moments before the assassination. He shared this account in a video broadcast on his Facebook page, calling for a free and transparent investigation to uncover the circumstances of the incident.

According to the account in the video, Ahmed Gaddafi stated that Saif al-Islam was preparing to have breakfast at his home with only his personal aide, Ahmed Al-Ajmi, present. He explained that during a phone call with a political team, Saif al-Islam mentioned hearing “strange movement in the garden” before stepping out to investigate.

He added that gunshots were heard moments later, and those on the call were informed of what had transpired. According to the same account, when Saif al-Islam's relatives arrived at the house, they found him dead alongside his aide. He continued that the body was later moved from the house to Ahmed Al-Ajmi's rest house, where regular meetings of political figures were held, and that the location where the photos were taken—according to him—was not the site of the assassination, but a previous meeting place with his cousin Ahmed Gaddafi about a month earlier.

The speaker in the video concluded by urging the authorities and concerned parties to conduct an independent and transparent investigation, “so that people know who betrayed him,” as he put it.
