Court in Port Said

The Juvenile Criminal Court upheld the 15-year jail sentence handed down against the two killers of a five-year-old girl in Port Said.

Mahmoud Kasper, 17 and Alaa Abu Zeid, 16, are charged with kidnapping, rapping and killing the girl identified as Zeina.

Zeina was lured to the top of a building by the two teenagers in November of 2013, who then attempted to rape her. When Zeina screamed, the two boys threw her from the top of the building, killing her.

A court in February of 2014 sentenced the two defendants to 15 years in jail but the verdict was challenged by the their lawyer.
