Settled in the street: A 21-year-old woman in Alexandria punched her 35- year-old friend to the ground and kicked her to death, because she (the victim) encouraged one of her relatives to get a divorce and marry her (the attacker's) husband. The name of the killer, whose husband remarried, was given as Asmaa Saeed. One day, she was walking down Abu Soleiman Street in the Raml district of Alexandria, when she spotted her friend, Nevine Abdel-Karim, and killed her there and then. Sweet words: A teenage worker murdered his wife when he caught her having an affectionate conversation with another man on her mobile phone in their home in Awseem, 6th October Governorate. The first police heard about it was when the 18-year-old victim's brother said that her husband, 19-year-old Adham Hemad, had beaten her to death. Adham was arrested and admitted killing his wife, Sahar, whom he'd married last May. Late one night, he woke up, only to hear his wife, who was also his paternal cousin, whispering sweet words to a man on her freecell. He spent the next six hours beating her. The following morning, Adham rang his brother-in-law to tell him what had happened. He refused to intervene, so he carried on beating her. Eventually, he let Sahar go home to her own family, but she collapsed and died on the way. Evil grandparents: Most people probably think of grandparents as being very kind and full of love for their grandchildren. Perhaps we think of their only fault being a tendency to be too lenient and overindulgent towards their children's children, whom they normally love to spoil rotten. Tragically, a couple in the Ezbet Maarouf district of el-Matariya showed no love at all for one of their grandchildren, a little girl of five, whose only 'crime' was to be incontinent. Because of this, they used a red-hot iron and other things to torture her until she died of gangrene. After killing her, they took her frail corpse to her parents' home in Beni Sueif Governorate, where she was buried without a death certificate. The first police heard about it was when residents in Othman Ahmed Othman Street in Ezbet Maarouf rang a child help line. They said that one of their neighbours forced her granddaughter to work selling newspapers, even though she was only five years old. The last the neighbours saw of her was being carried out of their home by her grandparents, who then took her to Beni Sueif. Little did the neighbours realise she was dead. Hosni Hussein (51) and Awatef Saad (45) had asked their son in Beni Suef to let his small daughter, Dina Mohamed Hosni, live with them and help them with the household chores. He agreed, but they then started torturing her in various ways. Other tortures included beating her with a hose and some stout wire, as well as hitting her head against the wall. Dina's father did admit that he was suspicious about the injuries to his dead daughter, when his parents brought her body to his home in Ahnasiya, Beni Sueif Governorate, where they buried her in the local cemetery.
