A Somalia military court earlier in the week sentenced two Al-Shabaab terrorists to death for killing a prominent traditional elder in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu.
Judge Hassan Abdirahman Aden (Wabiyow), announced the death sentence for the two assailants identified as Hassan Ali Hassan (Kerow), 23, and Abdirahman Isse Ali (Fidow), 20, saying both men were found guilty of murder during the investigation by the Somali Police.
The two were convicted of killing late Helowle Hefow Hussein, an electoral delegate, who was involved in the past concluded election of Somali Federal lawmakers from Southwest administration in Mogadishu in November 2, 2016.
The two Al-Shabaab assassins were arrested and detained by Somali Forces shortly after shooting Hussein in the capital’s Wadajir district. Two pistols and a grenade bomb were also recovered.
