Cairo - A butcher was arrested yesterday on charges he stabbed a man 300 times and then beheaded him for allegedly having an affair with his wife, Egyptian judicial sources said.
While visiting the family home to give Arabic lessons to the children, the victim reportedly had the affair while pretending to exorcise evil spirits from the butcher's wife in the main bedroom, they added.
The tutor, Mr Abul-Azzayem Mussa (29), also asked for 10,000 Egyptian pounds (£2,000) for the exorcism services, before Mr Soliman elSayed Mahmud (37) suspected there was an affair, the sources said.
