A horse kicked to death its abusive master when he entered its stable in a poor Cairo neighborhood early on Monday, Egyptian police said.
The owner, Mohamed Hamad Ali, aged 44, died of a broken skull from repeated kicks to the head, police said.
Neighbors in the northern neighborhood of Al-Darb Al-Ahmar told police the horse acted in "revenge" against an owner who had whipped it, failed to feed it properly and used it to pull overloaded carts, AFP said.
The prosecutor's office ordered the horse taken to a veterinarian for a health examination. (albawaba.com)
