The Mansoura Criminal Court on Tuesday sentenced two men to death who attempted to rape and ended up murdering one of the man’s wife. The incident dates back to June 2020, when Hussein, the husband of the victim Eman, allegedly contracted another man, Ahmed, to rape his wife so he could avoid paying settlements for divorce. The husband gave Ahmed the keys to his house and stayed out for some time to allow him to break in. The judge said that both men are partners in the attempted rape and murder of Eman, and sentenced them to the same punishment. He pointed out that his family refused his divorce to his wife, as the victim was from a good family, religious, and of high moral character.
