Central Cairo prosecutors have ordered the detention of six prisoners for suspected involvement in the murder of a French teacher who was being held in a jail at Qasr al-Nil Police Department.
The six suspects, already convicted for mugging, will now be detained for four days pending investigation over charges of beating the 51-year-old Frenchman to death inside his cell.
Police investigations revealed that the French national had been detained for violating the curfew.
