Stabbed his brother because of a shirt

A 30 year old employee in Alexandria stabbed his brother to death during a fight over a new shirt, a police official said on August 5.

A hospital report stated that a young man died after he was stabbed in the chest three times, and preliminary investigations proved his elder brother was behind this crime.

Mohammed Metwalli Hassan, the murderer, said he had asked Mahmoud, his brother, to lend him the newly purchased shirt, but he adamantly refused and tried to hide it in a wardrobe.

"Mahmoud’s refusal infuriated me and we soon engaged in fracas that turned into a bloody fight during which I grabbed a knife and stabbed him in the chest. Then I fled from my house to a friend’s," said Mohammed. The police caught him.
