Mother found guilty of beating son to death for failing to learn the Koran

A British mother who beat her 7-year-old son to death after he failed to memorize excerpts from the Koran was found guilty of murder.


Sara Ege, 33, was convicted of beating her son Yaseen to death with a stick at their home in Wales, then burning his body to hide evidence. Police originally thought Yaseen died in a house fire.

Ege initially claimed her husband, Yousef, was responsible for the 2010 death and only confessed to the crime for fear he would kill her, too. Yousef was acquitted of causing his son's death by failing to protect him, the International Business Times reports.

Ege reportedly confessed to police that she beat her son because he had not learned the Koran.
