Minya Court Refers Woman Who Killed Husband and Six Children to Grand Mufti for Execution Approval
The Minya Criminal Court has referred the case of a woman convicted of killing her husband and six children to Egypt’s Grand Mufti for approval of her execution after extensive hearings and forensic reviews.
The Minya Criminal Court has referred the papers of the defendant, Hagar A.A., known as “the Delga family killer,” to the Grand Mufti for a legal opinion on her execution after she was found guilty of killing her husband and six children using a poisonous substance.
The session, chaired by Judge Alaa El-Din Mohamed Abbas and attended by Judges Hussein Ali Negida, Ahmed Mohamed Nasr, and Amr Nasif Tahoun, along with Prosecutor Saeed Abdel-Gawad, reviewed forensic reports and agricultural analyses of the toxic chemical Chlorophenapyr, as well as witness testimonies and final arguments from both sides.
Investigations confirmed that the 26-year-old defendant poisoned her husband and six children between July 6 and 25, 2025, at their home in Delga village, Deir Mawas district, by mixing the toxin into their food. She also attempted to poison her husband’s first wife in a similar way but failed.
The court has referred the case to the Grand Mufti for a legal opinion regarding the death penalty, with the defendant to remain in custody until the final judgment session.
