For her part, the lawyer of the late Saeed Mukhtar said, during a live broadcast on her Facebook page, that Mukhtar was exposed – according to her account – to treachery while on his way to see his son, pointing out that the date of the meeting was scheduled in one of the malls in October City, but his ex-wife changed the place and date, and attended with her common-law husband Atef, considering what happened a planned plot.
She revealed new personal details, confirming that the talk circulating about the artist’s divorce is inaccurate, noting that the wife is still under his legal responsibility, and that the lawsuit she filed to divorce him last September has not yet been decided, which makes her common-law marriage to the accused an illegal situation.
She explained that the artist had rented an apartment for his wife at the beginning of last November, and transferred a sum of money to her hours before the incident out of consideration for the needs of their son Salim, stressing at the same time that the wife had been preventing him from seeing the child during the recent period.
She added that the wife’s presence at the club accompanied by her common-law husband on the date of the sighting was the spark that ignited the quarrel, which ended with the artist being stabbed to death in front of the Wadi Degla Club in 6th of October City, an incident that the security services in Giza continue to investigate to uncover its full circumstances.
