The Cairo Criminal Court of Appeal has upheld the death sentence by hanging for Karim Mohamed Selim, infamously known as the 'Al Tagamoa Butcher'. This decision marks the second confirmation of the sentence, following a previous referral to the Grand Mufti of Egypt for legal opinion. Selim was found guilty of the brutal murders of three women, which have horrified the Egyptian public and dominated social media discussions in recent months.
The case began on May 16 when authorities discovered the body of an unidentified woman on the June 30th Road in Port Said. Investigations quickly led to Selim, who confessed to the murders, detailing how he lured the victims to his home in the Katameya district of Cairo, where he committed violent acts against them before killing them. The prosecution's evidence included forensic materials and video footage recorded by Selim during the crimes, which further solidified the case against him.
