Two Egyptian men, Muhamed Nabil Mohammed Ali Shokr and Fahim Abdlhalim Abbas Badawy, have been sentenced to 22 years in prison by the High Court in Soroti, Uganda. They pleaded guilty to the February 2024 murder of their colleague, Mahmoud Ahmed Zinhom Ibrahim Selim, who was a kitchenware businessman. The court heard the men murdered Selim and then disposed of his body near Awoja. The conviction highlights the severity of the crime and Uganda’s justice system’s response to it. This case involved foreign nationals and underscores the international reach of legal proceedings. The sentencing offers a degree of closure for the victim’s family and serves as a deterrent to similar acts. The Observer Media Ltd. first reported on the sentencing.
