Tennessee man charged for allegedly raping unconscious woman outside church before she died
Nashville police charged a man with four counts of rape after witnesses say they saw him assaulting an unconscious woman outside a church on Thursday. Officers with the Metro Nashville Police Department rushed the woman to an area hospital soon after the incident, but she died after arriving. Police identified the suspect as 39-year-old Mohamed Mohamed. "A Nashville Fire Department crew traveling on Nolensville Pike just after 9:30 p.m. enroute to a call saw the sexual assault taking place on a sidewalk in front of the church. They turned around and chirped their siren," the MNPD said in a statement. "As they pulled up to the sidewalk, Mohamed was attempting to pull up the unconscious victim's pants. The fire crew detained Mohamed, called for police and rendered aid to the victim," the statement continued. "Surveillance video shows the victim by herself walking unsteadily toward the front steps of the church. She was unable to keep her balance and sat down on a step, appearing to be under the influence of some type of substance. Mohamed approached and sat down beside her," police said. "Mohamed made physical contact with the victim as she went in and out of consciousness as she tried to push him away. He ultimately lifted her off the steps, put her on the ground, and repeatedly sexually assaulted her," the statement added. Police say Mohamed refused to be interviewed after being taken into custody. His bond has been set at $300,000. As of Friday, the Medical Examiner was still awaiting the results of toxicology testing in order to determine the victim's cause of death. Police have identified the victim as a 34-year-old woman who they believe was homeless. Her name has not been made public, as a police chaplain was still trying to find and notify her family.

Mohamed Mohamed is charged with rape in the alleged attack of a still-unidentified woman NEED TO KNOW A Tennessee man is charged with raping an unconscious woman in front of a church The woman died shortly after the alleged assault on Aug. 14 The woman carried no ID and remains unidentified, pending an autopsy and fingerprint analysis A Tennessee man is accused of raping a woman as she drifted in and out of consciousness by the front steps of a Nashville church — shortly before she died. Mohamed Mohamed, 39, is charged with four counts of rape in relation to an alleged assault on an unconscious woman in front of the house of worship on Nolensville Pike in Nashville's Woodbine neighborhood Thursday evening, according to a press release from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. Authorities say a Fire Department crew was traveling down Nolensville Pike just after 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 14, when they spotted an alleged sexual assault taking place. The fire crew alleged that Mohamed was attempting to pull the woman's pants up as they pulled over. The woman, who remains a Jane Doe, was seen on surveillance video apparently under the influence, walking unsteadily and setting herself down on the steps. Police say Mohamed then approached her, sat down beside her and began touching her as she drifted in and out of consciousness, attempting to swat him away to no avail. Mohamed then allegedly lifted her off the steps, set her on the ground and "repeatedly sexually assaulted her," police wrote in the press release. The woman was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she died soon after arriving. She did not carry any identification on her; an autopsy is pending and authorities are attempting to identify her using her fingerprints. Mohamed was detained by the fire crew as they waited for police, who took him to police headquarters. Police say he refused to be interviewed, and a judicial commissioner set his bond at $300,000. It was not immediately clear if Mohamed had entered a plea or retained an attorney. He is currently in custody at the Davidson County Male Correctional Development Center, according to county jail records. Read the original article on People

‘Fesikh': The smelly fermented fish many Egyptians love forever no matter what
CAIRO – 20 April 2025: Every year, Egyptians celebrate Sham El-Nessim, a springtime tradition filled with colored eggs, fermented fish, and gatherings at parks or beaches. Sham El-Nessim falls on the day that follows Easter Sunday every year. This year, Sham El-Nessim will be celebrated tomorrow and fesikh (fermented fish) is, as usual, the star of the show. In the days leading up to the holiday, shops selling fesikh have been bustling with eager customers—men, women, and kids alike—who can't wait to dig in, sometimes even before the official celebration starts. Despite the Egyptian Ministry of Health issuing warnings about fesikh almost every year, it seems to have little effect. The preparation of fesikh involves creating an anaerobic environment for the fish to ferment, which unfortunately can also promote the growth of harmful bacteria. The ministry has noted these bacteria can produce toxins that may lead to botulism, weaken the immune system, and cause food poisoning. Yet, fesikh remains a beloved tradition in Egyptian households. No matter how sophisticated some may try to seem, you can often catch a whiff of fesikh in the air coming from inside their homes, accompanied by the ever-present green onions and bread. 'I come from a family of doctors, and they all love it madly,' Amr Abdel Fattah shared with Egypt Today. 'I walk in and immediately smell the one thing I hate the most, only to find out it's all ready. It's crazy how that smell lingers even after it's eaten!' When it comes to fesikh, people are either passionate fans or staunch haters. 'There's no middle ground—you're either a fan or an enemy,' said Mohamed Mohamed. 'I hate it and believe there are many more like me. I just don't understand how anyone can eat something that smells like that!' This love-hate relationship was humorously captured in the popular Egyptian film Assal Eswed, starring Ahmed Helmy. Helmy plays Masry El-Araby, an Egyptian-American who returns to Egypt after 20 years and is shocked to find his friends planning to eat the 'smelly' fish. After a bit of resistance, he gives it a try and ends up loving it—so much so that he can't stop eating until he feels sick. 'I ate so much my stomach might ache,' he says, only to be told, 'Fesikh won't give you a stomachache; you either die or live!' Fesikh isn't the only fish making waves during Sham El-Nessim. Renga (herring) and the extremely salty melouha are also popular options that many people cherish. Renga is seen as fesikh's fiercest competitor, while melouha is a beloved delicacy in the South. 'I've never eaten and will never eat fesikh. I only love renga,' said Hassanein Mohamed, emphasizing the divide that continues to exist.
