Deposed Egyptian leader Mohamed Morsi is due in court on charges of murder, days after he insisted he was the legitimate president at a separate hearing related to a prison break.
According to state media, Morsi arrived at the police academy in Cairo on Saturday to face charges of inciting the killing of protesters near the presidential palace in 2012.
He is charged with 14 other figures from the now banned Muslim Brotherhood group.
A heavy security presence was reported outside court, but there were no protests by Morsi supporters.
Last week, Morsi appeared at the same location charged with colluding with foreign groups to break out of prison during the uprising against Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
At that appearance, Morsi insisted he was the legitimate president of the country.
Morsi was deposed by the army in 2012 after a year in power. The head of the army, Field Marshall Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, was cleared by the military last week to run for the presidency later this year.
