A judge has requested that the execution of a female student killer in Egypt be broadcast live on television

Court in Egypt called for the live televised execution of a murderer who stabbed a student when she rejected his marriage proposal. 21-year-old Mohamed Adel was found guilty of the murder at Mansoura University of his fellow student Naira Ashraf, with the court sentencing him to death on 6 July.

In a letter to Egypt’s parliament, the court said: “Television of even part of the proceedings could achieve the goal of deterrence, which was not achieved by broadcasting the announcement of the sentence itself.”

Shocking images of the attack on the student outside the university near the Nile Delta on June 20 have come to light. Ashraf died at the scene of the attack, while enraged bystanders stopped the killer as he stood over her with the knife.

He stabbed her several times in the neck and chest, according to local media.

The attacker was watching the student and decided to kill her when she rejected his marriage proposal.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the perpetrator’s lawyers have about 60 days to seek the annulment death penaltyhowever the court is asking within that time to change the law so that Adele can be hanged live on TV.

The last televised execution in Egypt was in 1998, when three men were hanged for murdering a woman and her two children in their home in Cairo.
