In Cairo’s Fifth Settlement, a family of four was discovered dead following a shooting incident, according to Egyptian authorities. The victims included the father, mother and their two daughters. The bodies of the mother and her two daughters were found inside a parked car in the Al Narges neighborhood, after neighbors alerted police about the suspicious vehicle.
Each of the three victims had been shot. The father was later found dead at home from a gunshot wound, leading to the examination of two separate crime scenes. Preliminary investigations suggest the suspect killed the father before contacting the mother, falsely claiming her husband had been in a traffic accident. The mother and daughters followed the message to the location where they were shot.
Police have arrested a suspect, and initial inquiries indicate the father and the suspect had a history of financial disputes. Neighbors, however, said they were unaware of any issues between the family. Autopsies have been ordered to determine the causes and timing of the deaths, and forensic teams are examining the family home and vehicle for evidence.
Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage and questioning neighbors and acquaintances to establish the circumstances of the alleged financial dispute.
