“How (how) do I kill him?.. This is my ten years!” Thus, orthopedist Ahmed Shehta tried to deny the accusation of his participation with others in the killing and burial of his friend and colleague Osama Sabour, known in the media as the coastal doctor.
Shehta spoke regarding the case for the first time, on Saturday, during his trial on charges of killing his friend in association with his wife, Al-Orfi, who works as a lawyer and his assistant, before the Cairo Criminal Court, which was held in Abbasiya in downtown Cairo.
And according to what was monitored by “Sky News Arabia” during the trial session, the head of the court, Abd al-Ghaffar Jadallah, ordered the defendants, doctor Ahmed Shehta, his wife, the customary lawyer, Iman Muhammad, and his assistant, Ahmed Faraj, to be removed from the dock and stand before the court platform amidst security guards.
It was remarkable that the three defendants denied the charge, although the Public Prosecution investigations proved their detailed confessions, as well as what the police investigations proved.
The first defendant, Doctor Ahmed Shehta, appeared with a shaved head, and following hearing the referral order and the judge asked the defendants what they said in the charge once morest them, Shehta said: “Remorse, I did not plan for anything and did not kill anyone.”
And he continued, saying: “O people, this is my friend and ten years of my life. How can I kill him (how) and save him. How can I not kill a friend?”
While his wife, “Urfiya”, the lawyer Iman Muhammad, who appeared in black clothes, contented herself with saying: “It didn’t happen, I didn’t do anything,” and she continued to cry throughout the session, while her lawyer argued that she was sick and that he was asking for her release pending the case, because the disease might threaten her life in prison. And she is a female “wing breaker”.

It was remarkable that the accused objected to the journalists during her exit from the cage and said, “Yes, take pictures. I am in front of you.”
The session witnessed an intense presence of media representatives, given that the case and its shocking details occupied public opinion.
As for Ahmed Farag, the first accused doctor’s assistant, he denied the accusation and tried throughout the session to hide his face from the media cameras.
The defendants’ defense demanded that the case be postponed until its papers are reviewed, so the court decided to postpone the hearing to October 2.
On August 3, the Public Prosecution ordered the criminal trial, stressing that its investigations proved that they had lured the victim, the coastal doctor, at the behest of his first accused colleague, to the latter’s clinic, assaulting him, torturing him, and injecting him with medical drugs to death.
Investigations proved that the defendants buried the victim’s body in a grave they prepared for him inside the aforementioned clinic, seized his money and fled, and when an unpleasant smell emanated from the place, the people informed the police, who intensified their efforts until the mystery of the crime was revealed.
