GAROWE (Kaab TV) – The First Instance Court of Nugaal Region, in Garowe, has sentenced Abdikarim Ali Abdi, a suspect from Taleex, to death after he was found guilty of the intentional killing of Mustafe Mohamed Nur, a young man who worked as a car washer.
The verdict was delivered on Monday in the presence of both families, the presiding judges, public prosecutors, and the defendant’s lawyer.
According to the court, Abdikarim deliberately shot the victim and failed to provide any assistance afterward.
The judge further noted that the accused used an illegal AK-47 rifle and posed a serious threat to the peace and security of Garowe, the capital of Nugal region in Puntland.
The presiding judge, Abdikarim Mohamed Aw-Nur, said the ruling was made under the Islamic principle of Qisaas (retributive justice), following a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
The court stated that the ruling is subject to appeal if any party is dissatisfied with the verdict.
