Cairo: A horrific crime shook the Egyptian streets after a student at the Faculty of Arts at Mansoura University slit the throat 21-year-old woman in front of hundreds of students and passers-by.
Nayera Ashraf, an Egyptian student, was killed by her colleague, whose name was not reported by any official source, using a knife in front of the university.
Egypt’s Public Prosecution has ordered an investigation into the incident and the interrogation of the perpetrator.
The prosecution examined the victim’s body and found injuries on her neck, chest and other areas. It also took the statements of two security personnel at the university, who confirmed that the suspect committed the crime.
The prosecution has warned against circulating footage of the crime or speculating about the assailant’s motive, saying this can “directly affect the integrity of the investigation,” compromise evidence, disturb public order, and cause harm to the victim’s family.
The prosecution’s call came after the news circulated that the perpetrator had killed his female colleague because she refused to marry him.
In turn, Mansoura University said in a statement that the incident occurred near one of its gates, and the perpetrator was arrested immediately.
