It is narrated from Kinanah al-Adawi; he said: I was among those who were besieging Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: I asked: "Did Muhammad bin Abi Bakr kill him?" He said: "No; rather a man from the people of Egypt, Jabalah bin al-Ayham, killed him." The narrator says: And it is said that Qutayrah al-Sakuni killed him, and he was killed on the spot; and it is also said that Kinanah bin Bishr al-Tujibi killed him; and perhaps they all took part together in his killing, may Allah curse them. And al-Walid bin Uqbah said these verses (about it): "Behold! The best of people after their Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the one whom that Tujibi who came from Egypt martyred." Here "the Tujibi" means the killer of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).
