The Egyptian Court of Cassation has reconvicted Egyptian businessman Hisham Talaat Mustafa to 15 years with hard labor in jail and Egyptian police official Muhsin Al Sukari for life. They two men were sentenced after being found guilty of killing Lebanese singer Suzan Tamim.
The final court made has put a final end to the drama that began in 2008 when Suzan was murdered. The two defendants had at first filed an appeal when the first court verdict was made by the general court and was confirmed in the retrial held at the court f cessation.
When Suzan was murdered, controversy broke out in Egypt, Lebanon and the UAE, which was where the crime took place. The Dubai police had found Suzan murdered in her apartment and when Muhsin was arrested he confessed that Hisham had offered him two million US dollars to kill Suzan.
Reports had it that Suzan and Hisham were intimately involved while she resided in Egypt but they broke up when she decided to move to the UAE. It was added that Hisham wanted to get back at Suzan for leaving him and so arranged to have her killed.
