The court refers the accused of killing the Al-Barajeel girl to the Mufti for opinion on the death penalty

Today, Monday, an Egyptian court referred the accused of killing the girl Amal, known in the media as “The Barajeel Girl,” to the Mufti to take a legal opinion on his execution, and set the next October XNUMXth session to pronounce the verdict.

The Giza Criminal Court’s decision to refer the Mufti (a non-binding opinion of the court) against the accused “Andrew” (20 years), the 15-year-old cousin of the victim, came after the murder he committed against his cousin after he failed to rape her was proven.

The details of the case began last February in the Barajil area in Osim, Giza governorate, adjacent to the capital, Cairo. The case papers included the accused’s slaughter of the victim after he failed to rape her, and his escape after seeing her brother.

And social networking sites witnessed a state of popular sympathy with the victim, who was known in the media as "the girl of the Barajil", while some activists called her "the martyr of chastity and purity."

This state of sympathy came after a controversy caused by the accused's defense team that the crime was not premeditated and premeditated, and that the accused was admonishing the victim about her relationship with another young man, and then the dialogue escalated to the crime
