Mystery solved
Criminal detectives solved the mystery behind the disappearance of an Egyptian woman following a kidnapping complaint lodged by her husband. The woman was with two compatriots - with one attempting to blackmail her - who took her to a flat in Mahboula. But detectives foiled their plan. The Egyptian told police his wife was missing from home, but later received a call from another Egyptian saying his wife was with him and heard her crying for help. Detectives traced the phone call to a Mahboula address and stormed the flat, and found the woman with two men. One of the suspects said he knows the victim and wanted to blackmail her, and brought his friend to assault her. The three were taken into custody and sent to the prosecution for further action.
