A new video has circulated on social media featuring the horrific crime that has shocked Egypt. A young man fatally stabbed his colleague in the streets of Ismailia Governorate, then decapitated him and walked around with the severed head amidst the screams of bystanders in a bloody, hysterical scene, the true motives of which remain unknown.
In Ismailia city, a gruesome murder occurred, as a young man slaughtered his colleague in front of passersby and paraded his head down the street. Bystanders on Tanta Street were taken aback to see a young man kill his colleague, sever his head, and walk around with it.
Major General Mansour Lashin, the director of Ismailia Security, received a report from the second police station indicating that one of the young men had killed another and was walking with the head on Tanta Street. Security forces were dispatched to the scene, cordoned off the area, and managed to apprehend the perpetrator.
Initial investigations by detectives revealed that the motive for the crime was revenge due to an illicit relationship between the victim and the perpetrator's mother. Security agencies are currently working to uncover the true reasons behind this heinous act, summoning several eyewitnesses and shop owners in the area to gather their statements.
An official source told "Al-Arabiya.net" that the victim was identified as Mohamed Al-Sadiq, 42, residing in the Belabesa area of second Ismailia district. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Interior confirmed in a statement that the perpetrator is psychologically unstable and had previously been treated for addiction in a mental health facility.
They noted that the killer was employed at a furniture shop owned by the victim's brother and attacked the victim with a cleaver, resulting in the decapitation, all while mumbling incoherent words. The prosecution has been notified and has taken over the investigation.
