Giza Criminal Court sentenced “Ahmed A,” 39, owner of a veterinary supplies shop, to death by hanging on Tuesday for the murder of a woman and her three children in the al-Labini area of Faisal district, Giza. The verdict was delivered at the conclusion of a session marked by tight security measures. The presiding judge read the verdict aloud to the other defendants, who were present inside the iron cage. The session ended with a mixture of conflicting emotions between defendants acquitted and one facing the capital punishment. One of them was seen patting him on the shoulder in silence, while others exchanged astonished looks.
