Accused’s Sister Hugs Him in Court After He Kills Nephew Over a “Slipper”

Trials Session Reveals Tragic Events

The trial session of the accused, Farag Abdel Hamid Mabrouk, of killing his sister’s son due to a “slipper” before the Mahalla Criminal Court, the third circuit, witnessed the presence of the victim’s mother and her statements before the court in the case.

The mother collapsed in front of the court, grieving what had happened to her son, and that her ex-husband had refused to raise the child and live with him, and her brother, the “accused,” had tried to take him to his aunt’s house, who had refused to have the victim live with her in the house.

Mother’s Emotional Plea

The mother broke down in tears, hugged the accused and asked the court to pardon him, fearing that she would lose him after she lost her son. The mother explained that the child’s father did not deserve to have the child registered under his name, and that her accused brother was more deserving of having the child registered under his name. After the court heard the statements of the defense and the mother, the session was adjourned for deliberation.
