TWO EGYPTIANS HANGED FOR MURDERING TODDLER

December 12, 2006: two Egyptians were hanged for beating and electrocuting to death a toddler whose cries were spoiling their televised football game, security sources said.
Hosni Ramadan Mahmud Ahmed, a 19-year-old shoe-shiner and his friend Ramadan Abu al-Magd Azab, a waiter, were hanged in the southern city of Qena after losing an appeal in their trial for the murder of Ahmed's two-year-old step-daughter, Zeinab Naggar Tawan.
In the summer of 2002, Ahmed was left to look after the toddler after her mother stormed out of the house following an argument.
Apparently infuriated that the crying baby was disrupting their viewing of a football match on television, Ahmed smashed the two year old's head against a wall and electrocuted her. The two men then dumped her body in a nearby school. (Sources: Independent Online, 12/12/2006)
