An Egyptian prisoner lost his life behind the bars in the city of Banha because he refused to give away a cup of tea two of his colleagues had wanted, the daily Al Gomhuria reported. 

Investigators found that the victim who had been jailed for criminal charges was drinking a cup of tea in his prison cell and refused to give it to two of his colleagues. A brawl erupted between the three and the victim was beaten to death. 

The criminals were referred to court for “deliberate murder.” -- Albawaba.com
