Egyptian policeman referred to criminal court for murder of two Minya Copts
2018-12-19
[AlAhram] Egypt's general prosecution has said that it is referring a police sergeant to criminal court over the murder of a Coptic man and his son in Upper Egypt's Minya last week.

In an official statement, the prosecution said police sergeant Rabie Mostafa Khalifa, who was assigned to guard the Church of Nahdet El-Qadasa, was referred to court in an emergency session for killing Emad Kamal and his son David.

The prosecution charged Khalifa with the premeditated murder of the two men using his service weapon after reviewing CCTV footage from the scene of the crime.

The prosecution said that Khalifa confessed to the crime, but did not reveal a possible motive.
“That uppity kufr spoke back to me, just like he was my equal,” he said. “I had no choice but to show him and his little boy which one of us belonged to the Master Religion.”
On Saturday, the prosecution said that the killing was sparked due to a "verbal altercation."

The incident has sparked outrage among citizens and Church officials.
