The Ministry of Interior clarified in a statement yesterday evening, that in the context of uncovering the circumstances surrounding what was circulated on social media regarding the murder of a person who succumbed to gunshot wounds in Aswan, it was found that on September 14 of this year, the Kom Ombo Police Station received a report from a hospital about the arrival of a person, residing in the center's jurisdiction, who was pronounced dead due to multiple gunshot wounds.

Upon questioning the victim's brother, he stated that there was a vendetta between his brother and two other individuals since 2015, stemming from disputes over a piece of land.

By intensifying investigations, the security forces were able to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of the incident, and it was found that they were unemployed and residing in the Kom Ombo area, and two automatic rifles were found in their possession, one of which was the weapon used in the crime.

Upon confrontation, the first accused admitted to firing gunshots at the victim, resulting in injuries that led to his death. He then got into a pickup truck with the second accused and fled the scene of the incident.

The second accused guided the authorities to the vehicle used in the commission of the crime, which was seized, and it was found to be without license plates.

The vehicle and the seized weapons were secured, and necessary legal procedures were taken, with the investigation authorities being notified to commence investigations.
