Drug addict mother kills own baby

A 1-year-old Egyptian baby was allegedly strangled to death by her mother inside an unlicensed addiction treatment centre due to the centre’s refusal to discharge the mother, local media reported.

The two-storey centre was being used to treat drug addiction among women and was run by a number of girls and women as well as a group of workers.

The suspect is said to have asked the workers to leave the place, but centre’s management refused her request, so she got so angry and strangled her own baby.
