Court Told Asylum Seeker Accused in Brighton Beach Case Had Prior Murder Conviction in Egypt

Jurors convicted the three men after more than 12 hours of deliberation, and police said they will seek deportation after sentencing.

  • At Hove Crown Court, Karin Al-Danasurt, Ibrahim Alshafe, and Iranian Abdulla Ahmadi were convicted of rape, with Al-Danasurt, 20, found guilty of four counts as a secondary party for encouraging and filming the Brighton attack last October.
  • Prosecutors told the court Al-Danasurt fled Egypt to "evade a lengthy custodial sentence" for murder, though his defence barrister disputed this; the Egyptian national had been in the country about four years.
  • Ibrahim Alshafe had his asylum application refused on Oct 3, though he told the court he was unaware of the decision before the Brighton incident.
  • Border security and asylum minister Alex Norris stated authorities will move to deport the convicted men from British soil once sentencing concludes, describing them as "people taking our country for a ride."
  • Kemi Badenoch, leader of the Conservative Party, told reporters the government must solve the small boats crisis, as British law allows foreign nationals in prisons to be considered for removal after serving 30% of their custodial sentence.
