Two Egyptian sisters hurl mum to death from train

Two Egyptian sisters in their 20s hurled their mother to death under the train on which they were travelling after a heated argument with her.

The 50-year-old mother had rebuked one daughter, 21, for misbehaving inside the train in the northern province of Dakhaliya, triggering an argument between the two.

Newspapers in the Arab country said another daughter, 23, sided with her sister and joined hands in carrying their mother and throwing her out of the window.

The mother died instantly under the train as a third daughter, 27, and her husband began screaming, prompting the train to stop, the papers said, adding that the two sisters were arrested by police on board.
