Fuwah Appeals Court Sentences Worker to Five Years in Karate Champion’s Killing

The Fuwah Criminal Appeals Court in Egypt’s Kafr El-Sheikh governorate has sentenced a worker to five years in prison in the killing of karate champion Mohamed El-Sayed Hassan El-Sayed.

The ruling reduced an earlier sentence of 15 years of rigorous imprisonment imposed on the defendant in the case.

The appeals court delivered its judgment with the defendant present. His name was not provided in the available case summary.

The victim was identified as a karate champion, but the summary gave no further details about his sporting career or the circumstances of the killing.
