The incident reportedly
happened in Alexandria and the reason for the matricide, as allegedly confessed
to by the suspect was just to please his wife.
Egyptians are demanding
severe punishment for the son of an elderly woman who allegedly confessed to
have ruthlessly beaten his mother to death, even as family members claim that
the aged woman died of a medical emergency.
The 81-year-old woman,
Zeinab as-Sayyid Mahfouz, was allegedly brutalised by her son to please his
wife who had complained about her mother-in-law.
Reports said he left his
mother unconscious and bleeding in the hall of their house, while he reportedly
went out for dinner with his wife, Al-Arabiya.net reported.
Zeinab’s blood flowing
through the apartment door alerted neighbours who broke into the house after no
one opened the door for them.
She was said to have been
immediately transferred to a hospital, where she allegedly died of her
injuries.
When the son and his wife
learnt what happened, reports added, they tried to flee but security forces
detained the son who allegedly later confessed to the crime.
Egyptians have now taken to
social media to demand justice for the elderly woman.
However, Rajaa al-Araby,
Zeinab’s oldest daughter, told Al-Arabiya.net that her mother was 85 years old
and not 81 as it was initially claimed.
She said Zeinab died after
suffering from a brain clot, adding that her brother was completely innocent
and had nothing to do with their mother’s death.
Rajaa also noted that her
late mother always praised her daughter-in-law for treating her well, adding
that the campaign which was launched on social media to demand punishing her
brother was aimed to harm her family.
