The Egyptian Court of Cassation yesterday rejected the appeal filed by the accused Karim Salim, known as the 'Tajamam Murderer', and upheld the death sentence against him. This decision came after his conviction for the premeditated murder of three women. The case sparked widespread public outcry in Egypt in recent times. The accused had filed an official appeal against the death sentence issued by the criminal court, in a case that caused widespread debate and occupied Egyptian public opinion in recent months, bearing number 3610 of 95 appeals. The events date back to accusations against Karim Salim of committing separate murder crimes against three women in different areas of the Fifth Settlement, using deceptive means to lure them, before being arrested after extensive investigations by security agencies and referred for a speedy criminal trial.
