25-year-old sentenced to death for robbing, murdering two men
Rana Husseini; 27/9/08
The Criminal Court has sentenced a 25-year-old man to death after convicting him of robbing and murdering two men in Maan in December 2006. The court declared Abdul Mahdi W. guilty of shooting Marwan Deeb to death and running over Wasfi Ali in a deserted area near the city of Maan on December 3 and handed him the death sentence. The same tribunal acquitted a second man standing trial on the same charges of premeditated murder and robbery, for lack of evidence. Court papers said the defendant’s father owned a jewellery shop, which the two victims visited on regular basis because they worked in a jewellery factory.
