7 members of Egyptian family found dead in mystery crime

Cairo: Seven members of one family had been found dead inside their house in a village in Egypt’s Nile Delta, local police said.

###

The victims included the head of the family, his wife, his mother and four children.

###

Preliminary investigations revealed that unidentified perpetrators fatally stabbed the father and his eldest 15-year-old son before setting ablaze the semi-detached house in the Delta province of Beheira, according to security sources.

###

The other fatalities, including two children aged three and four years, apparently died of burns.

###
###

The family’s two-floor house is located inside farmland around 400 metres from the main village, a matter that made the mystery crime discovered on Sunday— hours after it was committed.

###

Police believe that the crime had been perpetrated by more than one person, making it difficult for any member of the family to escape and seek help from locals.

###

Relatives said the family was on good terms with others.

###

“My uncle was a wallpainter and was a peaceful person,” Saad Ashraf, 19, told private newspaper Al Masry Al Youm.

###

However, the crime is believed to have been perpetrated out of revenge.

Investigations revealed that the murdered father was a witness in a court case in which 11 defendants were later given 10 years in prison each, private newspaper Al Watan reported.

###

Local prosecutors are investigating that case amid a massive police hunt for the suspects including friends and ex-cons.
