Listen to article
A horrific crime in Egypt has left the nation in shock as a mother allegedly strangled her three children to death before preparing Suhoor(Sehri) for her husband, Gulf News reported.
The incident occurred early Saturday morning in the Ezbet El Mantawi area of Khanka, located in the Qalyubiya governorate. The suspect, 35-year-old Suzan, is accused of killing her two daughters, Shahd (12) and Aya (5), along with her son Mahmoud (7).
Reports indicate that the children were asleep when Suzan strangled them one by one after they had their pre-dawn meal, also known as Suhoor or Sehri. Investigators believe that Suzan may have been suffering from mental illness, which could have played a role in the tragic crime.
Authorities arrested her after her husband, who was unaware of the killings, contacted the police. He is also being questioned by security forces.

This simple road mistake may lead to Dh10,000 penalty in UAE
Crossing the road wrongly or jaywalking is strictly not allowed in UAE. PHOTO: GULF NEWS In response to a sharp rise in road safety violations, the United Arab Emirates has introduced stricter penalties to deter jaywalking, following a series of fatal incidents across the country. In January 2024 alone, nearly 44,000 people were caught jaywalking in Dubai, with eight pedestrians killed in run-over incidents. Authorities say the practice of crossing roads outside designated areas remains a major safety concern, particularly on high-speed roads. According to Gulf News, to tackle the issue, a new traffic law—Federal Decree-Law No. 14 of 2024—came into effect on 29 March, significantly toughening penalties for violators. Previously, pedestrians caught crossing from undesignated areas faced a Dh400 fine. Under the updated law, the consequences are more severe, especially in cases where jaywalking leads to accidentAs per Article 7 of the law, which outlines 'controls for using the road,' pedestrians, cyclists, and e-scooter riders are all prohibited from stopping mid-road or crossing outside designated zones. The revised legislation stipulates that: Those who cause an accident while jaywalking may face imprisonment and a fine between Dh5,000 and Dh10,000. On roads with speed limits of 80 km/h or more, violators could face a minimum of three months in jail, a fine of at least Dh10,000, or both. Offenders may also be held civilly and criminally liable for any consequences arising from their actions. Official guidelines for safety Authorities are urging the public to use the range of safe pedestrian options provided across the UAE, including subways, footbridges, and smart pedestrian crossings. The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has issued a list of safety tips to encourage responsible road use: 1: Avoid distractions at zebra crossings – do not use phones or wear headphones while crossing. 2: Always follow pedestrian signals, crossing only when the light is green. 3: Look both ways, listen carefully, and make eye contact with drivers before stepping onto the road. 4: Use designated crossing points and footbridges where available. 5: At night, wear reflective clothing to enhance visibility. 6: On roads without pavements, walk facing oncoming traffic to spot approaching vehicles. 7: Officials say the new measures reflect a broader government push to prioritise pedestrian safety and reduce fatalities. 'Crossing roads from non-designated areas might seem convenient, but it endangers lives,' an RTA spokesperson said. 'These laws are meant to protect everyone on the road.' As enforcement of the updated law begins, authorities are expected to launch awareness campaigns and step up monitoring in key areas across the country.
