EGYPT: COURT SENTENCES 45 TO DEATH OVER DEADLY FIGHT
August 8, 2018: An Egyptian criminal court sentenced 45 people to death over killing three people in an armed fight in the coastal province of Alexandria.
Four of them have been in custody while the other 41 were sentenced in absentia, according to official MENA news agency.
The case dates back to 2012 when a massive fight erupted between two big families in which knives, guns and Molotov cocktails were used, leaving three dead.
The verdict is not final and still appealable. (Sources: Xinhua, 09/08/2018)
