KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Four Sudanese men on Wednesday were condemned to hang for killing a U.S. aid official and his driver in Khartoum, and a fifth man was jailed.
John Granville of the U.S. Agency for International Development was the first U.S. government official killed in Khartoum in more than three decades in a crime that sent shockwaves through the capital's expatriate community.
Granville, 33, from near Buffalo, New York, and his driver, Abdelrahman Abbas Rahama, 39, were shot as they returned from New Year's celebrations in the early hours of January 1, 2008.
"We sentence the first four defendants to death by hanging," Judge Sayed Ahmed al-Badri said as the guilty verdicts on their murder charges were announced amid tight security.
A fifth defendant, who admitted helping some men buy guns, was sentenced to two years in jail on weapons charges.
