Egypt: Church guard kills priest in personal dispute

Egyptian security officials have reported that a civilian church guard has shot dead a priest in Cairo in the course of a personal dispute.

According to the officials, the quarrel broke out in St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Church in the Shubra el-Kheima district on Monday owing to the priest refusal to the guard money so as to help him pay for his daughter’s wedding.

Meanwhile, the guard was arrested after the incident.
