Egypt to try policeman over driver’s killing
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA policeman is to stand trial for murder after a driver was shot dead in a dispute over a fare, the Egyptian prosecutor’s office says Sunday, as public concern rises over police abuses.
Mustafa Mahmud is alleged to have shot dead Mohamed Ali Sayed Ismail, 26, with his police issue firearm late Thursday in central Cairo after a row over the fare for a delivery.
Mahmud has been charged with “premeditated murder” and “illegal use of his service weapon” and will go on trial, a senior official at the prosecutor’s office says.
