The Egyptian judiciary says its word in the case of the killers of the "martyr of magnanimity"
The Egyptian Court of Cassation closed the curtain on the case of the murder of the child Mahmoud al-Banna, known in the media as “The Shaheed of Shaheed”, by Muhammad Rajeh, in the city of Tala in Menoufia in October 2019. The cassation upheld the 15-year prison sentence for the killer, and also upheld the punishment of two others for the same period. A fourth defendant is sentenced to 5 years in prison.
According to Al-Watan newspaper, this case is one of the most controversial cases, at the time of the Public Prosecution's investigations, on several axes.
The case dates back to 2019, when the victim, a student in the second grade of secondary school, was upset by the actions of the convict, Muhammad Rajeh, towards one of the girls, and posted on his account on “Instagram”, saying: “The opposition of girls is not from manhood.”
The publication angered Rageh, especially since Mahmoud had tried to prevent him from assaulting and humiliating a girl in the street, so Rageh began to threaten Mahmoud, before he agreed with three of his accomplices to kill Al-Banna.
On the ninth of October 2019, they attacked the victim with knives and incendiary devices to the eyes, and stabbed him several times in the abdomen, so that he died in Tala Central Hospital in Menoufia.
