Cairo - Egypt yesterday hanged three men found guilty of killing an Egyptian woman and her two children during a robbery at their home in a Cairo suburb earlier this year, Egyptian television said.

The Good Evening Egypt programme showed the three men being prepared separately for the hanging. Their hands were tied behind their backs and they were told to repeat the Islamic profession of faith.
