Local police said they were investigating the case. The autopsy has been finished and the results are expected to come out later today.
Zhang visited the police branch in Nasr City on Tuesday afternoon and demanded a quick finding of the criminals.
A police officer of the police branch in charge of criminal cases said the murder was cruel and that the Egyptian side will work hard to nab the suspects as early as possible.
The bodies of the couple were in a hospital. Their relatives in China have been informed and will come to Egypt as early as tomorrow.
Since the beginning of the unrest in late January in Egypt, public security situation was deteriorating across the country with a sharp rise of robberies, thefts and criminal cases. Some Chinese who work in Egypt were also victims of various crimes.
