Fouad Fawzy, 42-year-old Copt with two children was killed in what appears to be an anti-Christian hate crime on Tuesday June 27th while at his shop. 
According to eyewitnesses, a bearded man named Hossam Mahfouz, a 27 year old with a criminal record, went to Fouad's shoemaking shop and asked whether or not Fouad is Christian. When Fouad answered positively Hossam immediately stabbed him in the chest and neck. Fouad died immediately.
Thousands of Copts marched in his funeral procession demanding justice for the victim and warning against any government attempts to brand the criminal as lunatic, as they did in the attacks against Copts in Alexandria.
Hosam is currently detained for 45 days pending investigations. Fouad is survived by his wife and two children.

I'm sure he was just simply "crazy" or "deranged".
I'm also sure that this is just an "isolated "incident" that "won't happen again"
I'm so sick of hearing about this stuff!! May the Holy Spirit comfort his family!
