Faisal Prosecution decided Wednesday to put the mother of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) victim in temporary custody for 4 days, over accusing her of causing death to her daughter, al-Bawaba News reported. The prosecution accused the defendant, a nurse, of beating her own daughter to death and mistakenly injuring her, meanwhile the mother denied the FGM surgery, affirming that it was to remove sebaceous cyst from the girl's womb. Mayar, 17, died in Suez in late May, following failed FGM surgery in a private hospital alongside her twin sister. The mother denied that she knows the place of the other sister, not to inspect her medically, which will approve the FGM surgery. The doctor still a fugitive.
