Murder trial of Suzanne Tamin to begin in Cairo


Suzanne Tamim, a Lebanese pop star, was brutally murdered in her luxury Dubai Marina apartment, her throat slashed. Arrested in her death: One of Egypt's most politically connected billionaires, Egyptian businessman and lawmaker Hisham Talaat Moustafa accused of paying $2 million to have her killed.

Egypt does not have a jury system, the trial will take place before three judges. Many doubt if justice can occur in an Egyptian court and desire the trial to take place in the United Arab Emirates. However with the unprecedented arrest of such an influential and wealthy member of government we may be in for a surprise.
