An Egyptian court has called for a murderer be executed on live television, according to reports.
Mohamed Adel, 21, was convicted of killing fellow student Nayera Ashraf outside Mansoura University in northern Egypt last month.
He was sentenced to death on 28 June at Mansoura Courthouse, where officials have now reportedly written to parliament to ask for his execution to be broadcast live to deter similar crimes.
In a letter to parliament quoted by local media, the court wrote: “The broadcast, even if only part of the start of proceedings, could achieve the goal of deterrence, which was not achieved by broadcasting the sentencing itself.”
The court heard that Adel stabbed Ashraf to death outside the university after she rejected his advances, with some local media reporting that she rejected a marriage proposal.
He pleaded guilty to her murder and was sentenced to death, a decision that had to go to Egypt’s grand mufti, a religious figure who rules on certain legal cases, for approval.
The verdict, which may be appealed, was made public on 24 July.
