“Get the infidels out of the courtroom!”
An Egyptian Muslim accused of killing a Coptic Christian doesn’t seem to understand what’s involved in a murder trial.
During yesterday’s first session in the trial of the Aswan murderer Ahmed Abu-elroos, he shouted from inside his cage “Get the Infidels Out of the Courtroom, they are looking at me”
The defendant meant the victim’s father Radi and brother Mina, who were present at court. The killer’s brother Gaber, also shouted calling for the ‘Infidels’ to be thrown out of court, and threatened the Copts!!
Mr Abu-elroos has pleaded guilty to stabbing Romani Radi six times in the back and slitting his throat last 3 November. The murderer is known to have had two accomplices but he refused to name them, and apparently no effort has been made to identify them.
The judge has placed the confessed killer under psychiatric observation for 45 days.
