The Giza Criminal Court has set next Wednesday 18 June to issue a verdict in the case involving 23 accused of shooting dead former senior security official during a police raid last year.
Former Assistant Giza Security Chief, Nabil Farrag, was shot dead in September 2013 by terrorist elements while police and army forces were invading the district of Kerdasa, previously a stronghold for Islamist groups sympathizing with ousted president Mohamed Morsy.
The forces were seeking to clear the district of terrorist elements as well as to search for suspects involved in the murder of 16 police officers working at the local police department one month earlier.
