Mohamed Adel, who killed the student Nayera Ashraf from Mansoura University, who refused to marry him, was executed yesterday in the Egyptian Gamassa prison.
Adel admitted investigators that he planned Ashraf’s murder after she refused to marry him. On May 20 of this year, after Ashraf’s last exam, he stabbed her several times with a knife.
According to the witnesses, Adel threatened and abused his victim for a long period of time.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced in early July 2022. The sentence was appealed, and his defense attorney requested a mental health evaluation. The Court of Cassation confirmed the sentence in February 2023
