Alexandria Court Adjourns Appeal in Wife’s Fatal Stabbing Case

Alexandria’s Criminal Appeals Court has adjourned the case of a man sentenced to death for killing his wife, postponing proceedings until its next session so his lawyer can attend.

The defendant, identified by the Arabic initials “ب.ر.ال”, is appealing a first-instance criminal court ruling that sentenced him to death by hanging.

He was accused of killing his wife, identified by the Arabic initials “ا.ع.ب”, by stabbing her multiple times following disputes between them.

The latest decision concerns the scheduling of the appeal proceedings, rather than a ruling on the conviction or sentence. No specific date for the next hearing was provided.
