According to witnesses, some people have made failed attempts to stop the murderer when he started to attack the victim, but he took his knife and slaughtered her from her neck. People arrested the killer and handed him over to the police in the area after beating him repeatedly over his horrific crime.
The attacker had earlier proposed to his victim, who is his colleague at Mansoura University, but she turned him down so he decided to take an act of revenge and threatened to kill her multiple times before he committed his crime on June 20th.
