It was held under the chairmanship of Chief Military Judge Col. Mohammad Afif, alongside military judges Lt. Col. Abdulla Al Fawaz and Maj. Safwan Al Zu'bi, in the presence of the Attorney General. Lot Awad Al Dajah as well as the suspect's lawyer, Subhi Mawas.


The soldier entered a plea of not guilty at a military court hearing last week Wednesday.
