CAIRO - A Sudanese man facing the death penalty in connection to the killing of an American diplomat in 2008 has been released, his brother told on Monday.
Abdelraouf Abuzeid, who was found guilty for the killing of U.S. diplomat John Granville, was released by the country's high court two years after a settlement was reached between the Sudanese government and Granville's family, his brother said.
The U.S. state department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
