A 23-year-old Egyptian woman murdered her husband’s little daughter because she had a piece of meat from the fridge without telling her.



Najwa Saeed repeatedly hit the five-year-old daughter before banging her head against the wall at their home in the Egyptian capital Cairo, causing her death.



The girl’s father, who had divorced her mother, tried to defend his wife by telling the police the girl died of food poison.



Forensic examinations showed the girl had been beaten to death and her step mother later confessed during interrogation to killing her, newspapers said.
