Red Sea Court to Hear Appeal Against Death Sentence in Hurghada Killing

The Red Sea Criminal Appeals Court is scheduled to hear an appeal today by a defendant sentenced to death for killing a Russian woman in Hurghada.

The appeal challenges the death sentence handed down on July 14.

That ruling followed receipt of the Grand Mufti’s opinion approving the death penalty in the case.

Today’s hearing concerns the defendant’s challenge to the sentence. No outcome of the appeal was provided in the case summary.
