CAIRO - A hotel worker has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing his 22-year-old fiancee to death in Giza, south of Cairo to avenge dumping him and planning to marry a rich car mechanic, a security source said Saturday. The 22-year-old worker, identified as Emad Abdul Hamid, knifed the victim several times after a quarrel as he tried to prevent her from getting married to the other man, the source said. Emad has confessed to killing his fiancee, Yasmine, because she regularly scolded him for his poverty and decided to severe their relationship, he added. The suspect was charged with premeditated murder for stabbing his fiancee to death to avenge leaving him and throwing the engagement ring at his face during a violent argument on Friday night, the source said. "Emad confessed that the assault was triggered by discovering that his fiancee ��" also a hotel worker ��" was dating another man outside her family," the source said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to the media. A police doctor, who examined the victim at the 6th of October General Hospital, said that Yasmine's chest and stomach were bloodied, her body covered by knife cuts and stabs and that she had died of excessive bleeding. Police arrested Emad was a day after the July 2 killing, said the source. According to Egypt's penal code, Emad could be sentenced to death if convicted, he added.
