On June 20, 2022, Mohammad Adel approached fellow student Nayera Ashraf near Mansoura University, severely beat her, and stabbed her multiple times. Videos of the crime showed Ashraf fighting for her life as bystanders tried to help her.
The perpetrator, Mohamed Adel, confessed to the killing and pointed to disputes between the two and her refusal of his marriage proposal as his motive for the murder. After conducting interviews with about 20 people, including the victim's family, judicial authorities said that Adel had repeatedly tried to approach Ashraf after she had rejected his offer of marriage. The family had also requested a restraining order against him more than two months before the murder.
The murder would trigger widespread outcry both in and outside of Egypt, with the video of Ashraf's murder going viral on social media. Many Jordanian and Egyptian users called for the perpetrator to be sentenced to death, while others said men must "learn to take no for an answer".
On 14 June 2023 Egyptian authorities executed Adel by hanging. Adel's death sentence was carried out in Gamasa Prison after the Court of Cassation upheld the death sentence in February.[5]
