In Alexandria, the Criminal Court has adjourned the trial of lawyer Sally El-Gabbas, who is accused of killing and dismembering her elderly mother at their residence in the Sidi Bishr area.

The case was initiated after neighbors reported a foul odor, leading security forces to discover body parts in the living room, a bag containing legs, and the victim's head inside a freezer. El-Gabbas has denied intentional murder, testifying that a verbal dispute caused her mother to collapse and that she believed the victim had merely entered a diabetic coma.

The defense has requested access to prosecution investigation files to prepare for upcoming sessions.
