In an unexpected turn of events, Emir Lowe, the teenage son of eminent British photojournalist Paul Lowe, has been accused of the murder of his father. Celebrated for his coverage of conflicts, particularly the horrific siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War (1992-95), 61-year-old award-winning photographer Paul Lowe was found stabbed to death on Saturday on a California hiking trail.
What Are the Details of the Incident?
Emir, the 19-year-old son of a murdered father, has been legally accused, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. Paul Lowe had a fatal stab wound to the neck, according to medical data kept by the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner. A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesman said, “The District Attorney’s office filed one count of murder on suspect Emir Lowe for the murder of his father Christian Paul Lowe. At this moment, there is no more information.”
Emir Lowe’s first court appearance is Wednesday at the West Covina Courthouse. Police accounts state that the sad event happened at Stoddard Canyon Falls along Mount Baldy Road at around 3:28 PM.
