Lebanese courts have ruled that the killing of Syrian young man Mohammed Musa, shot by Fadi Al-Hashem, the husband of artist Nancy Ajram, was in self-defense. The case had sparked widespread debate on social media and the duo were subjected to severe criticism from the public. The court's decision was made after months of silence and was based on the mental and nervous state that Hashem was under, and his fear for his family, which led him to kill the young Syrian man when he broke into his home. In its ruling, the court cited the legal justifications of the necessary self-defense circumstances and excluded the crime from being criminalized. The ruling prohibited the prosecution of Hashem and saved all fees and expenses. The incident took place on January 5, 2020, when Nancy Ajram's house was robbed by an armed man, and her husband Fadi attempted to defend the house and exchanged fire with the thief, eventually killing him, who turned out to be named Mohammed Musa from Syria. The family of the victim launched a strong attack on Fadi Al-Hashem and Nancy Ajram, claiming that the thief was not a burglar, but worked on Nancy's estate and entered her house because he wanted to reclaim some money. The case was referred to the criminal court after the court issued its initial suspicion verdict convicting Fadi Al-Hashem of "murder". After many investigations, appeals, and re-autopsies, the investigations continued for three years, until the final decision was issued today, to prohibit the prosecution of Fadi Al-Hashem and his acquittal.
