Killed on the Corniche: Police are probing the death of a former convict whose body was found on the Corniche in Beni Sueif, about 60 miles south of Cairo. Mohamed Moustafa (27) had been stabbed more than 30 times. Nasty shocks: A 20-year-old student at Al-Azhar University called Ahmed Hassan died when he was electrocuted. The deceased was doing a summer job, working for a contractor in the village of Qasr el-Bassel near Itsa, Fayoum Governorate, when he got a huge electric shock from the wire supplying power to the welding equipment that he was using. Meanwhile, a little girl died in the village of Munti near Qaliub when she went out shopping late at night for food for the sohour with her father. They were walking past a street light with a live wire sticking out, when Mariam Emad (seven) touched it and was fatally electrocuted. Anger at iftar: In el-Daqahlia Governorate, Mohamed el-Sayyed Ahmed, a 21-year-old worker, died in the street in the village of el-Daraksa near Minyat el-Nasr just before iftar. The victim was from the same village. Another local man, Ahmed el-Sayyed Abdo (37), had been speeding home for iftar on his motorbike. He kept sounding his horn to send anyone or anything in his path scurrying out of the way, including Mohamed. When he stopped outside his home, Mohamed walked up to him and challenged him about the excessive use of his horn. Ahmed, who owns a cafeteria, wasn't best pleased about this, whipped out his knife and stabbed him to death. Upper Egyptian revenge in Imbaba: A 22-year-old salesman called Amr Moustafa has been remanded in custody on suspicion of the premeditated murder of a 45-year-old farmer called Moustafa Mohamed, while three other suspects, all fugitives from justice and named as Abdou Mohamed (a 30-year-old fellah), 23-year-old Bahi Hassan (also a fellah) and Hassan Ragab (a 25-year-old worker), are still being sought by police. They are also suspected of possessing an unlicensed gun and knives. It was a vendetta crime, because the victim had killed Amr's father two years ago in an argument over the borders of their adjacent fields in their native Anboub, Assiut Governorate. Moustafa was found guilty of that crime and sentenced to life in prison in absentia. He would have been safer behind bars, because Amr eventually traced this fugitive to Imbaba and got the three fugitives from justice named above, all relatives of the first suspect, to help him kill his father's murderer. The first police heard about it was when a bullet-riddled body was found outside a block of flats in Omar ibn el-Khattab Street in the Ard el-Gamaee' (Association Land) district of West Munira in Imbaba. The mobile and wallet containing LE81 of the victim, who'd also been stabbed more than 20 times, was found next to his body. He was identified as Moustafa Mohamed and his brother, Mohamed (41), told detectives that it must have been a vendetta crime, because the deceased had killed Amr's father, Moustafa Ahmed Faraag, in 2008. Mohamed accused Amr and his brother, Hamed (20), of killing his (Mohamed's) brother, but Hamed has not been arrested in connection with the case.
