04 January 2023 :
Mohamed Samir, who murdered his fiancée Kholoud Al-Sayed Farouk, has been sentenced to death by a court in Egypt, Middle East Monitor reported on 3 January 2023.
In October last year Mohamed strangled his fiancée to death in Port Said after she broke off the engagement.
Mohamed then threatened to kill her, and the following day broke into Kholoud's house and murdered her.
During the trial the court heard an audio recording of Kholoud begging a colleague for help as Mohamed attacked her, reports the state-run Egypt Today.
A CCTV camera on the flat opposite captured Mohamed entering Kholoud's house at around the time of the murder.
