The two alleged killers had invited their primary school victim, named Mustafa Izat, to come and ‘play’ with them. Police in Egypt have arrested two boys accused of luring an 11-year-old classmate to death so they could steal just £2 of pocket money from him.
They allegedly took him to an abandoned house in the village of Al-Buraijat, in Beheira Governorate, northern Egypt. But the couple allegedly strangled Mustafa and stole EGP 100 (£2.50) that he had to spend on sweets and chips, according to police.
The police chief, Major General Ahmed Khalaf, told local media that the boy’s body was recovered after local farmers saw it. He was then sent for an autopsy, and it was revealed that Mustafa had been strangled to death and was left with bruises and abrasions around his neck.

Police said the money had been a gift Mustafa had given him for Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan for Muslims.
The two suspects, who have not been identified, reportedly confessed to the murder and said they had robbed him before fleeing to buy the sweets.
The investigation is ongoing. It is not clear if the two minors have already been charged.
