Muslim Burns a Young Copt Alive and Murders His Father Because of a Rumor!!!
06 March, 2009 05:52:00 AM Nader Shoukry


A Muslim man set fire to a Coptic young man, murdered his father and wounded
his younger brother, after it was rumored that the young Copt allegedly had a
relationship with the Muslim man's sister!!


The events took place in the small village of "Dmas" Meet-Ghamr,
after a rumor
spread around of a relationship between the 25-year-old Copt Shihata Sabri,
and the sister of a Muslim man named Yasser Ahmed Qasim.


Yasser went to Coptic Shehata, holding a gasoline canister, poured it over him
and set him on fire, as bystanders looked on in horror. The young Copt threw
himself into the adjacent canal to try to put out the flames from his burning
body. The fire left burns all over his body, leading to his death.


Following this incident, people in the village rallied and when the 60-years-
old Sabri Shehata, father of the Coptic victim arrived, he was attacked by a
group of Muslims stabbing him with knives and daggers; one stab penetrated his
back to come out of his abdomen below the rib cage, resulting in his death,
after being transferred to hospital.


A Coptic witness said that Yasser Ahmed, who is reputed to be a thug, and
others have also beaten the Coptic victim's younger brother, 22-year old Rami
Sabri Shehata, causing a deep injury to his head.


The security forces moved into the village of Dmas, which has a population of
60,000 people, including over 1000 Copts, surrounded the victims' house and
deployed extra forces throughout the village.


The offenders were arrested together with the accused Yasser Ahmed Kassem and
his friend, as well as the Copt Shehata Sabry who was held in custody in Dmas
Hospital. The offenders were charged with deliberate homicide.


The body of Coptic victim Sabri Shehata was released for burial after prayers
took place at the Church of Our Lady in the village of Dakados, which lies 20
kilometers from Dmas, amid a tight security siege.


A Muslim villager portrayed the incident as an honour killing stressing that
it was because of Coptic Shehata Sabri teasing Yasser about a relationship he
has with his sister, which prompted him and his friend to pour gasoline all
over the Copt before setting him on fire. He denied that this incident will
have an impact on the relations between the Muslims and Copts in the village.


The prosecution and the State Security Services are still investigating the
incident amid media blackout.
