Samira got into a debate with her father but in anger he said "you are not my daughter." Samira left his home shouting "it is better for someone like that to die!" Morsi heard her say this and got the idea of killing the father and blaming the daughter. Morsi planned the crime carefully and invited Samira to pay a quiet visit to her father.
