A four-year-old boy accused of multiple crimes, including four counts of murder, has been sentenced to life in imprisonment by an Egyptian court. Ahmed Mansour Karmi was sentenced in absentia by a western Cairo court on Tuesday over crimes he allegedly committed when he was just one year old. The boy had been accused of four counts of murder, eight of attempted murder, one count of vandalisation and one count of threatening soldiers and police officers.

The boy does sound extremely dangerous. At the same time, the court's verdict does seem primitive. So I'm not sure with who do I side with here.

Did you read the article? The child is guilty of nothing. How could you possibly be conflicted as to which "side" you are on?

How does he sound dangerous? He was ONE year old when the alleged crimes were committed. One year olds do not have the ability to think through committing a crime and know right from wrong... they're ONE. Absurd.

Trolololol...yeah, 1 year old psychopaths with murderous inclinations are quite dangerous. And they're practically beyond any hope of rehabilitation by the time they're four, so it's best to lock them up and throw away the key.

He's a bad kid on his way to worse things and the courts stopped it.

By 6 he would be pushing drugs, by 8 he would be running a brothel and pimping out his friends. By 10 he would have been involved in at least 3 police chases and multiple dui's.

I don't get them though.

Why are they saying they didn't get his birth certificate on time?

Do people in Egypt get sentenced without even being present? Do they just mention their names in court? I mean it's not like they can't figure out the child is only 4 by just looking at him.

That's some ONE YEAR old to have done all that.

I guess he was walking at that time and could say more than "mama" and "dada".
