CAIRO – 14 June 2023: The death penalty of the killer of Mansoura University Student Nayera Ashraf, Mohamed Adel, was carried out at Gamasa Prison early in the morning on Wednesday almost a year after he had been handed the sentence and months after it had been upheld. Egypt’s Court of Cassation upheld in February the death sentence against Mohamed Adel who killed his colleague Mansoura University Student Nayera Ashraf last year. According to investigations, Adel deliberately killed Ashraf for rejecting to marry him. The convict pleaded guilty before Mansoura Criminal Court in June, saying "I was fully sane when I committed the crime." The prosecution further found several threatening messages from the murderer to the victim’s mobile phone saying that he is going to kill her.
