A campaign coordinator for presidential hopeful Mohamed Selim al-Awa was found dead on a Daqahlia Governorate road late Saturday.
Magdy Gharib, Awa’s coordinator for the Delta region, was found with marks on the back of his head that indicated a strong blow.
“I feel great sorrow for losing a good brother. I asked security authorities to hasten apprehending the murderers. Gharib’s blood should not be lost in vain amid the current security void,” Awa said at the funeral ceremony.
Prosecution agents had arrived at the area before Gharib’s body was taken to hospital for a medical check. Investigators have started work on the case.
