SOMALIA: MILITARY COURT SENTENCE SOLDIERS FOR KILLING COLLEAGUES

18 October 2013 :

Two Somali military soldiers were sentenced to death after a court session hearing was held in Mogadishu.
According to the judge, enough evidence has been gathered confirming that 33 year old Yahye Sheikh Abdullahi Ahmed and 37 year old Hussein Ali Ahmed shot and killed fellow government soldiers in Mogadishu’s Wardigle suburbs.
The killing occurred when the two accused soldiers confronted the two deceased soldiers in unknown circumstances in last month’s incident.
“The executions or penalties will be take place in the coming days. We will carry out the execution as per the court ruling,” said Mr Keyse who is an official of the military court.
