CAIRO, Sept 29 (NNN-MENA) – An Egyptian court, yesterday, sentenced three members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood to death, and nine others to life in prison, over the killing a policeman and a civilian.
The crime dates back to 2014, when the convicted Islamists showered a policeman, who worked in securing ports, and his uncle, a driver, with fire, which caused their immediate death.
The Mansoura Criminal Court has also sentenced ten years in prison, for one person, over the same charges and acquitted six others.
The perpetrators had formed a terrorist cell, to fund and attack anti-security operations, and to plant explosive devices, near the police headquarters, the public prosecutor read.
Most Brotherhood leaders, members, and supporters are currently jailed. Many of them have received appealable death sentences and life imprisonment, over charges varying from inciting violence and murder, to espionage and jailbreak.
