Student Who Killed Schoolmate After She Rejected His Marriage Proposal Is Sentenced To Death

A student who killed his classmate outside their university after rejecting his marriage proposal has been sentenced to death.

Crazed Mohamed Adel hacked 21-year-old Naira Ashraf to death with a knife as she was leaving college to catch the bus home last month. The grisly slaying outside the gates of Mansoura University in Egypt was filmed by a shocked onlooker from a balcony.

The grim footage shows how Adel slashed the victim's neck with a knife before he was seized by security and passers-by. The victim was taken to hospital in a critical condition but died en route.

Adel confessed the killing, telling police that his victim had repeatedly turned down his marriage proposals.
