The 560 prisoners absolved by Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on Thursday had nine officers prosecuted for murdering a whole family in 2013.
It was reported by Egyptian news site Rassd that the nine officers were prosecuted for murdering 48-year-old Ibrahim Al-Qadi, his 22-year-old son Hisham, his wife Sonia and his friend Ashraf Al-Shindi on 3 March, 2013.
In 2015, the Public Prosecutor sanctioned them to the criminal court, which aided their seven years in prison sentence.
Yesterday, however, they were included in the presidential absolving and granted release.
The resolution also saw 482 people who were imprisoned on charges related to supporting the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood been pardoned.
