Egyptian prison authorities executed six prisoners, in relation to two separate cases.
A 22-year-old man was executed for raping and murdering a five-year-old girl in Upper Egypt's Minya governorate in March 2014.
Investigations in the case revealed that the convict kidnapped the girl, before taking her to an abandoned building in Maghaha village and raping her. He choked her with a cloth and repeatedly hit her in the head.
The convict's death verdict was upheld by the Court of Cassation in February 2016.
The Minya governorate prisons department also executed on May 3 five people convicted of murder in Qena and Gharbeya governorates under tight security measures.
