Amira comes home: Police in el-Sharqia Governorate have reunited the daughter of the deputy chairman of Faqous City with his daughter, Amira, who'd run away from home and gone to stay with a girlfriend in Cairo. Amira, a senior school pupil, had gone out for a private lesson, after which she was meant to come home by tok-tok, but she never did. She was traced to the capital, where she spent four days with her friend before being escorted back to her mum and dad in Faqous. Law student's lawlessness: A law student has been arrested on suspicion of murdering his friend, a car upholsterer. The 26-year-old victim, Ahmed Mohamed Attia, was found dead in his flat in the Zohour City district of el-Marg. He'd been stabbed to death by his friend, after they'd argued about money. Ahmed, who had a criminal record, was murdered by Ahmed Abbas Ali (22), studying at Assiut University, but spending his summer holidays in el-Marg. It was obviously premeditated, as the student had gone out and bought a knife, shortly before killing the upholsterer. The last sohour: It was at sohour time, in the early hours of the morning, that a worker fatally stabbed his elder brother in their village, Farsees, near Benha in el-Qaliubia Governorate, because the latter had insulted their father. The problems started when the deceased wanted to wake up their father for sohour, but his younger brother said that they should let their elderly father sleep a little longer. The elder brother was insistent. He woke up their father and started insulting him. His younger son tried to stop him, only to be beaten for his pains. So he knifed the deceased in the neck. The victim was named as Khaled Abdel-Nabi, a 40-year-old farmer. His young brother, Mohamed (25), fled but was soon arrested. He said that his elder brother was always disrespectful to their father and Khaled eventually decided that enough was enough. Asala's beautiful ring: The famous cinematic director Tareq el-Erian told officers at New Cairo Police Station that when his wife's diamond watch went missing about a month ago, he didn't report what had happened, because he thought his wife might have lost it when they were out of the house. But it was when a beautiful diamond wedding ring belonging to his wife, Syrian singer Asala, then went missing too that his suspicions were aroused and he filed a report against their Ethiopian maid, Mafraat, accusing her of stealing both the watch and the ring. Mafraat had been working for Tareq and Asala when the first theft occurred. The valuables she was suspected of stealing certainly were very valuable: Tareq paid LE400,000 for the ring alone for his wife. The Ethiopian suspect was arrested but has now been released on bail. The whereabouts of the watch and ring are still unknown, while investigations continue. Asala Mostafa Nasri (41), originally from Damascus, married Tareq, a Palestinian-American, after her first marriage to businessman Ayman el-Dahabi ended in divorce in 2005. She has custody of the two children - Sham and Khaled - from that marriage. Asala's father, the late Mostafa Nasri, was a famous singer and composer.
