Convicted 'Bride of Port Said' killer faces appeal hearing in white clothing

The appeals court has convened to hear Doaa Mehran's challenge to her life sentence for killing Fatima Yasser Khalil.

• Mehran arrived at the Port Said court Monday wearing white clothing as judges weighed her appeal.
• A criminal court sentenced her to life imprisonment on August 10 for intentional homicide without premeditation.
• Mehran confessed during questioning to killing Khalil after a dispute over an apartment, then denied the charge before the criminal court.
• Khalil, known as the "Bride of Port Said," died in February inside her fiancé's family home during iftar.
• Defense attorney Mahmoud al-Ghandour withdrew from the case, citing embarrassment over social media commentary he said harmed his reputation.
