A dispute over inheritance led to the brutal assault of a 19-year-old female student at the Faculty of Physical Therapy in Kafr Al-Adawi, Sharkia Governorate, prompting swift action from local security forces. The incident, which circulated widely on social media, underscores the escalating tensions within the family and has sparked public outrage.
Arrests and Initial Investigation
Following reports of the attack, authorities arrested a café owner, his wife, and their two sons. According to security officials, the accused – identified as Hamdy A., 62, his wife NA., 50, and their sons KHA., 28, and MH., 19 – allegedly attacked Noura MM., a second-year student at the National University’s Faculty of Physical Therapy, and her uncle, Mahmoud MA., 39. Both victims sustained bruises and abrasions during the incident.
The Al-Sharqiya Security Directorate immediately launched an investigation after monitoring a video clip of the assault circulating online. The investigation revealed a long-standing dispute over the ownership and value of a local café, with the student and her uncle seeking their rightful share of the inheritance.
Inheritance Dispute at the Heart of the Violence
The core of the conflict appears to stem from a disagreement between Hamdy A., the uncle of the student’s mother, and the student’s family regarding the inheritance of a café. Investigators discovered a history of animosity and documented exchanges between the café owner and the student’s family. “There were old disputes between them and exchanged records,” a source close to the investigation confirmed.
The student and her uncle reportedly claimed they were owed outstanding inheritance dues, escalating the tension that ultimately culminated in the physical assault. The incident took place on a main street in Kafr Al-Adawi, affiliated with the Faqus Center, and quickly drew attention from concerned citizens and social media users.
Legal Proceedings and Release of Defendants
The Fanous Public Prosecution in Sharkia Governorate has decided to release all defendants involved in the assault, pending trial. They will be referred to the Misdemeanor Court, with a hearing scheduled for January 27th to consider the case. Report No. 33415 misdemeanor was filed at the Faqus Police Station, formally initiating the legal process.
The release of the defendants has drawn mixed reactions, with some questioning the decision given the severity of the assault. However, legal experts emphasize that release pending trial is a standard procedure, allowing for a full and fair hearing before the Misdemeanor Court. The upcoming trial will determine the extent of the defendants’ culpability and the appropriate consequences for their actions.
