Judge sought after for allegedly killing his wife

Egypt's top judge is the target of a massive manhunt after he was accused of killing his television presenter wife, who he reported missing from a mall in Cairo three weeks prior.

The public prosecutor's office said in a statement that a guy who claimed to be the judge's accomplice led the police to a farm where Shaimaa Gamal's body was discovered.

Judge Ayman Hajjhas had his immunity lifted since he is a part of Egypt's influential council of state.

Given that Mr. Hajja recently received visas for Poland and Canada, an international arrest order has been issued.

According to statistics, domestic abuse affects one-third of women in Egypt.
