The North Lebanon Criminal Court sentenced Maroun Jbour Younes to life imprisonment after convicting him of killing Mrs. Ida Jamil Wahba Khoum inside the Mar Youssef Church in Miziara in 2019. He was shot from behind as she exited the church after the service, resulting in her immediate death. The sentence was reduced from the death penalty to life imprisonment after it was combined with a conviction for illegal possession of a weapon. The court also ordered the defendant to pay financial compensations to the victim's family, amounting to seven billion Lebanese pounds each for her husband and children. Additionally, a compensation of 200 million Lebanese pounds was awarded to the Maronite Archdiocese of Tripoli. Orders were issued to publish the ruling on the church door and in the court's bulletin, concluding a case that had lasted six years.
