Cairo Appeals Court Upholds Death Sentence in Mokattam Driver Killing

The Cairo Criminal Appeals Court has upheld a death sentence against a man convicted of killing a driver in Cairo’s Mokattam district.

The court, presided over by Judge Madbouly Kassab, also upheld a 10-year prison sentence for the defendant’s wife in the same case.

The appeal ruling confirmed the sentences handed down by the court of first instance over the driver’s killing.

The brief case summary did not specify the circumstances of the killing or detail the wife’s role in the crime.
