A Sharqiya criminal court sentenced on Wednesday two policemen to eight years in prison for beating an auto-rickshaw driver to death in Egypt's Nile Delta.
The case dates back to 2019, when the defendants wrongly arrested the driver of the auto-rickshaw, locally known as a tuk-tuk, and beat him in different parts of his body, according to the prosecution’s investigations.
As a result of the beating, the victim's physical and mental condition deteriorated before he suffered from a heart attack that led to his death, according to the prosecution.
The verdict can be appealed.
