The Cairo Criminal Court sentenced the second defendant, 41-year-old driver Mohamed Kamal Mohamed Ahmed, to two years in prison with labour, a 10,000 Egyptian pound fine and the revocation of his driving licence for a period equal to the prison term, and ordered him to pay criminal court costs.[1] The court convicted him of driving a car under the influence of the narcotic substance hashish, of negligent injury and of driving in a state that endangered citizens’ lives and safety.[1] The same panel sentenced the first defendant, 31-year-old software engineer Omar Sherif Yehia Ibrahim, to three years in prison with criminal court costs for deliberately injuring two women, one of them fatally.[1]
The case file and the Public Prosecution’s investigation identified the two defendants as 31-year-old software engineer Omar Sherif Yehia Ibrahim and 41-year-old driver Mohamed Kamal Mohamed Ahmed, who fell out with each other while driving over right of way.[1] According to the referral order, on 6 August 2026 within the Second Nasr City police district the second defendant hit the first defendant’s side mirror and drove off, and the first defendant chased him at excessive speed and deliberately rammed his car in revenge.[1] The collision rolled the second defendant’s car over several times, killing the victim Sanaa Hassan Ahmed Mohamed and injuring the remaining passengers.[1]
A report from the Central Administration of Chemical Laboratories of the Forensic Medicine Authority found the second defendant’s urine sample positive for use of the narcotic substance hashish while he was driving the car.[1] The forensic report attributed Sanaa Hassan’s death to a head injury that caused fractures of the skull bones and bleeding in the brain, and recorded scattered injuries and wounds among the other passengers from the rollover.[1]
The judgment was issued in case No. 6533 of 2026, felonies of the Second Nasr City department, registered as No. 1272 of 2026 in the New Cairo general registry, under a panel headed by Counsellor Mohamed Rushdi Abu El-Naga with Counsellors Amir Adel Ramzi and Khaled Mohamed Ali as members.[1]
