Egypt’s public prosecutor has ordered the detention of the main suspect in the killing of a female student in the northern city of Mansoura in a case that has sent shockwaves across the country and reignited a debate on gender violence.
Nayera Ashraf was brutally beaten and stabbed on Monday in front of the University of Al Mansura in broad daylight by a man witnesses said was a fellow student, according to local media reports. Ashraf was stabbed several times, including on her neck and chest, according to a preliminary analysis.
