Libya's interim leader, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, announced on Monday, an investigation has been ordered, into Muammar Gaddafi death.
The National Transitional Council (NTC) has formed a committee in order to conduct the investigation said Abdul-Jalil.
Today's announcement comes amidst rising international pressure to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death and reports of Gaddafi loyalists being executed.
The post mortem suggested Gaddafi died of bullet injuries, however it remains unclear whether the injury was sustained during heavy cross fire or whilst in custody.
Speaking in Benghazi, Abdul-Jalil said,
"We have formed a committee to investigate how Gaddafi was killed during the clashes with his supporters while arresting him,"
"Let us question who has the interest in the fact that Gaddafi will not be tried. Libyans want to try him for what he did to them, with executions, imprisonment and corruption,"
"Free Libyans wanted to keep Gaddafi in prison and humiliate him as long as possible. Those who wanted him killed were those who were loyal to him or had played a role under him, his death was in their benefit."
