Khaberni - Investigations by the prosecution in Alexandria, Egypt, have revealed details of the murder of a master's researcher by her ex-husband inside her family's home, also causing serious injuries to her parents.
The case files indicate that the victim, «Jihad Al-Amrousy», a researcher at the Faculty of Arts, Alexandria University, was preparing to defend her master's thesis before she was assaulted, ending her life at the hands of her ex-husband, «Ahmed Reda», inside her family's home.
Investigations indicated that the spouses separated about six years ago, with the victim residing in the marital home as the legal custodian for their two children. This led to ongoing disputes between the two during the previous period.
The lawsuit papers added that the accused was seeking to reclaim the marital home and end the custody right, which intensified the conflict between him and the victim before escalating to threats and assaults preceding the incident.
On November 12, 2024, the investigations reported that the accused had stormed his ex-wife's home days before the incident and issued direct threats, prompting the family to file an official complaint against him. Meanwhile, the victim temporarily moved to her parents' home with her children, fearing for their safety.
What did the investigations reveal about the crime in Alexandria, Egypt?
According to the investigations, the accused had previously prepared assault tools and placed them in a bag. He then went to the vicinity of the family's home and monitored the entry and exit movements before committing his crime. The initial examination indicated that the accused entered the apartment and attacked the victim's parents, causing them severe injuries before attacking his ex-wife inside the home, leading to her death from her injuries.
The investigations also indicated that the victim tried to call for help in her final moments but passed away before help could arrive; meanwhile, residents of the building managed to control the accused during his attempt to flee and handed him over to the security forces.
The initial medical reports indicated that death resulted from severe injuries and severe bleeding, while her parents were taken to the hospital for treatment under medical supervision. The public prosecutor ordered the continuation of the investigations, the conducting of forensic medical examinations, and further inquiries by the security agencies concerning the incident's circumstances, while the accused faces charges of premeditated murder and attempted murder.
