In the "Bride of al-Marg" case, a Cairo Criminal Court has sentenced the defendant, Heba, 21, to five years of hard labor for the murder of her husband, according to the source. She was convicted of voluntary manslaughter after stabbing her husband twice, once in the chest and once in the back of the head, during a physical altercation in their apartment in the al-Marg district.
The incident occurred just 150 days after their wedding. The prosecution revealed that a verbal argument between Heba and her husband escalated into violence after she failed to prepare a meal, and she later admitted to the crime during her interrogation. However, she claimed she did not intend to kill him, stating that she was experiencing exhaustion due to her third month of pregnancy when the argument began.
The forensic report confirmed that Heba sustained a penetrating stab wound to the chest and a laceration to the back of her head, which contributed to his death caused by massive bleeding and irreversible hemorrhagic shock.
