For the second time in a week, a Coptic Christian man has been murdered in Egypt over rumours of illicit involvement with a Muslim woman. The man’s body was found floating in the Nile. He had been abducted and tortured for nine days before being killed.
Police Investigations confirmed that the victim was lured to his death by a Muslim girl. The heinous crime was committed by a Muslim killer who posed as a police officer, deluded his partners in crime under the pretext that his sister was harassed by the Coptic victim.

Police investigations tracked the victim’s phone, which was stolen, to a mobile phone dealer in Cairo, who admitted that he bought it from a police officer.Descriptions were identical with one of the ‘friends’ of the victim “Basem A.” -31 years - a former airline steward and presently supermarket owner in the town of Benha.
The police raided the supermarket were they found belongings of the Coptic victim.Police arrested “Ahmed. A.” -16 years - and “Sami. M” -51 years - who worked for the friend of the victim.
The accused admitted that the supermarket owner told them he was police officer. After police intensive interrogation they confessed that they imprisoned the victim and tortured him as “courtesy” to the police officer, who convinced them that the Coptic victim had a relationship with his sister against her will.
Police have arrested a total of eight people who are believed to have participated in the kidnapping and murder.
The incident occurred in a village adjacent to Domas, where a Muslim was arrested earlier this week on suspicion of murdering a 60-year-old Coptic Christian over a rumoured affair between the dead man’s son and a Muslim woman.
