Menoufia court will sentence prophet claimant for murder

A man who claimed to be a prophet and murdered a teacher in Menoufia will have his sentence announced today, following a review by the Grand Mufti. The defendant, a decorator, stabbed the teacher multiple times and slit his throat after the teacher gave private lessons to the defendant's wife. The court previously sought the Grand Mufti's opinion on the death penalty. The murder occurred in May 2024, and the defendant claimed divine revelation and feigned insanity. The court found him mentally competent and aware of his actions.
