Shaimaa Gamal
The judge’s co-defendant was also sentenced to death, the court added, saying that the first convict intended to get rid of Gamal because she was threatening him by disclosing his secrets. He asked the second convict to murder her for a sum of money.
Egypt’s Prosecutor General Hamada el Sawy referred Ayman Hagag, a member of the judicial authorities, and businessman Hussein el Gharabli to the criminal court, on Thursday, on charges of the premeditated murder of TV presenter Shaimaa Gamal.
According to a statement by the prosecution on Friday, the husband, who is a member of a judicial authority, faces along with another suspect first-degree murder charges.
Earlier this week, the Public Prosecution announced launching a probe into the murder of Gamal after her husband, a member of a judicial authority, reported that she is missing.
Shaimaa Gamal has been suspended for a week after sniffing a white substance resembling heroin on-air during her show El Moshaghba (The Trouble Maker).
