来自黄金海岸的20岁澳大利亚人帕特里克·史蒂文森被控于12月31日在叙利亚伊德利卜省Darkush镇用AK-47步枪射杀同为澳大利亚公民的阿卜杜拉·格伦·伯吉斯1。伯吉斯时年40岁1。史蒂文森因谋杀罪名被控，该罪名在叙利亚可判处死刑1。他目前被拘禁在伊德利卜省萨迈达监狱，已被关押超过6个月1。
根据叙利亚法律，如果伯吉斯的遗孀阿玛图拉·劳里·邓纳姆宽恕史蒂文森或接受血钱赔偿，他可能免于死刑1。死刑需经过最高上诉法院审查、特赦委员会考虑和总统批准1。叙利亚法律人士告诉澳大利亚广播公司，法院做出裁决可能需要长达一年的时间1。
叙利亚当局初期曾调查史蒂文森与伊斯兰国是否有关联，但后来确定该杀害与恐怖组织无关1。澳大利亚外交贸易部向史蒂文森家人通报，叙利亚政府在该案中的参与度很低1。澳大利亚在叙利亚没有大使馆或领事馆1。史蒂文森于2023年高中最后一年皈依伊斯兰教，10月10日离开黄金海岸前往巴厘岛，随后赴叙利亚1。
Patrick Stevenson, a 20-year-old from the Gold Coast, has been detained in Syria's Idlib Province for over six months and faces a murder charge in connection with the death of fellow Australian Abdullah Glen Burgess on December 31.1 Stevenson is accused of shooting Burgess at least eight times with an AK-47 rifle in the town of Darkush.1 Under Syrian law, the murder charge carries a potential death sentence, though the penalty requires review by the Court of Cassation, consideration by a clemency committee, and presidential approval.1
The outcome of Stevenson's case may depend on the actions of Burgess's widow, Amatullah Laurie Duniam.1 Under Syrian legal provisions, if she chooses to forgive Stevenson or accepts financial compensation known as blood money, he could be spared execution.1 Syrian legal sources indicated the court process could take up to a year to reach a verdict.1
Stevenson converted to Islam during his final year of high school in 2023 and left the Gold Coast on October 10 for Bali before traveling to Syria.1 Initial investigations by Syrian authorities examined whether Stevenson had ties to Islamic State, but determined the killing was unrelated to terrorist organizations.1 Australia maintains no embassy or consulate in Syria, and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade informed Stevenson's family that the Syrian government has minimal involvement in the case.1
