Egyptian man referred to court for killing Coptic priest in Cairo
|
| Could be a jihadi, could just be a local Muslim who felt like it -- Al Ahram isn't telling. |
[AlAhram] Egypt's prosecutor-general has referred on Tuesday to Cairo criminal court a man charged with killing a Coptic priest and injuring another in Cairo last week, state news agency MENA reported.
The prosecution charged forty-year-old Ahmed El-Sonbaty with premeditated murder in the killing of Arc Priest Samaan Shehataa, who hailed from Beni Suef Governorate in Upper Egypt, in El-Salam City east pf Cairo last Thursday.
Another priest was injured in the attack.
The interior ministry has not commented on a possible motive behind the attack.
Evidence against the defendant includes a confession, witness statements, and forensic evidence, according to MENA.
