Investigations by the Public Prosecution in Egypt have revealed that a woman accused of killing her son and mutilating his body does not suffer from any mental illnesses. The Public Prosecution clarified in a statement that the information circulated on social media and news sites regarding the circumstances of the crime, its motive, or the mental state of the perpetrator is incorrect, noting that the surprising fact is that the woman is completely mentally sound.
The Public Prosecution's statement, reported by Cairo 24 news site, indicated: "Evidence and signs suggested during the examination procedures, the interrogation of the accused, and the questioning of witnesses, confirmed her mental and psychological soundness. This is what the Public Prosecution is seeking to verify through specific formal legal procedures."
The accused has been ordered to be detained for the willful premeditated killing of her approximately five-year-old son, after she confessed to committing the crime during her interrogation in the Public Prosecution's investigations. The investigations have led to evidence confirming the facts of the case and the correctness of the charges against the accused.
Details of the incident reveal that the Public Prosecution received a notification from the police on Thursday evening regarding the mother killing her son, dismembering his body, and hiding the remains in her home. Preliminary information suggests that the thirty-year-old mother killed her child, dismembered him, and cooked parts of his body, specifically his head.
