An Egyptian court has delayed issuing a final ruling over a death sentence recommendation for former Islamist president Mohamed Mursi.<br /><br /> He and other top Muslim Brotherhood leaders have been convicted of killing and kidnapping police officers, attacking police facilities and breaking out of jail during the uprising against Hosni Mubarak. <br /><br /> “The court has decided to postpone the verdict until the 16th of June, to complete discussion with the defendants, as they continue to be held in custody,” a judge said on Tuesday. <br /><br /> Last month’s death sentence recommendation was referred to Egypt’s Grand Mufti, who has now given his non-binding opinion. <br /><br /> The court says it needs time to discuss it, before any final ruling is made.
