A disturbing crime has shaken Egypt, particularly in the Giza governorate, where a young girl named Rahma was brutally killed by three women, Fatima, Wafaa, and Manar, in a case that has sparked widespread outrage. According to reports, the incident occurred in the Sfaf district, where the three accused women had a dispute with Rahma's mother, which escalated into a heinous act of revenge.

The investigation revealed that the three women, driven by malice, prepared a plan to kill Rahma and her brother by injecting them with a corrosive substance, chlorine. They used a medical syringe to administer the lethal dose, which caused severe internal injuries and ultimately led to Rahma's death. The authorities have arrested the three women and presented them to the public prosecutor.

The public prosecutor's office described the crime as a premeditated act of murder, stating that the accused women had intentionally and with prior planning, caused the death of the innocent child. The investigation found that the women had used chlorine, which caused severe burns and internal damage, leading to the child's death.

The post-mortem report confirmed that the cause of death was the corrosive substance injected into Rahma's body. The authorities have also revealed that the accused women had used similar tactics to harm Rahma's brother. The case has been described as one of the most shocking crimes in recent Egyptian history.

During the court session, the judge questioned the accused women, Fatima, Wafaa, and Manar, asking if they had committed the crime. The women denied any involvement, but their claims have been contradicted by the evidence. The court has heard requests from the defense and the prosecution, with the latter demanding the maximum penalty for the accused women.

The defense for the victims has requested a compensation of 100,001 Egyptian pounds as interim civil compensation. The public prosecutor has maintained that the accused women deserve the harshest punishment, citing the evidence from the post-mortem report, police investigations, and forensic analysis.

The case has sparked widespread outrage and debate in Egypt, with many calling for swift justice for the victims and their families. The authorities have vowed to ensure that the perpetrators receive the maximum punishment for their heinous crime. The incident has raised concerns about the safety and security of children in the region and the need for greater vigilance to prevent such crimes.
