A teenager was killed after supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi threw him off a ledge on a rooftop.
The defendants admitted the crime and were detained for four days before a judge extended their detention on Thursday.

The incident, which sent shockwaves across the country, took place in Alexandria's Sidi Gaber district on Friday, a day of violent festivities following the overthrow of Mohamed Morsi.
The incident reportedly erupted when the teenagers threw stones from the rooftop at pro-Morsi protesters on the street below.
The dead boy's father said his son was merely celebrating Morsi's ouster.

So I guess when Arabs throw rocks that means they are happy with the way things are going.
Of course, when they are upset they throw stones.
Or if they are bored they throw chunks of concrete or Molotov cocktails.
When they are out having a good time with their friends you can tell because they are having a car-b-que.
[Al Ahram] A Coptic Christian man was found decapitated on Thursday in Egypt's Sinai peninsula five days after he was kidnappped by gunnies, security officials and witnesses told AFP.
The man was found with his hands and feet bound and his head severed in the Sheikh Zuwayed area of north Sinai, they said.
A security official said "extremist groups" had captured the man on Saturday, the same day that a Coptic priest was killed.
Analysts had highlighted the danger of Death Eaters exploiting tensions and unrest across Egypt since the military overthrew Islamist president Mohamed Morsi last week.

A total of four prison inmates have been killed in two separate brawls in Nuevo Laredo, according to official government reports.
Accoridng to an online announcement by the Tamaulipas state Secretaria de Seguridad Publica, Conrado Eliezer Gonzalez Gutierrez, 30, and Mario Antonio Garcia Rodriguez, 28, were killed in a brawl at Nuevo Laredo's Centro de Ejecucion de Sanciones (CEDES) Wednesday morning.
The incident took place at around 1148 hrs in the observation area of module one. Two inmates, Esteban Lugo Cruz, 34, and Paul Zamarripa Guerrero, 38, are accused of involvement with the deaths. The victims entered the Nuevo Laredo CEDES last June on kidnapping charges.
The second incident took place at 1600 hrs in the washroom of the work area where Zamarron Jose Eduardo Santos, 23, and Jesus Martin Isaiah Alonso Cervantes, 19, were stabbed to death. Two inmates identified as Javier Esteban Pardave Lomax, 34, and Pedro Bernabe Hernandez, 24 were allegedly involved in the deaths.

The Mexican Army is preparing to reinforce operations in a three state area in reaction to increased violence in the region, according to Mexican news reports.
In a news account which appeared in the online edition of El Diario de Coahuila news daily, Mexico's top soldier, Secretaria de Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) General Salvador Zepeda Cienfuegos told reporters that due to increasing violence from competing drug gangs in the mountains of Chihuahua, Sonora and Sinaloa state, colloquially known as Triangulo Dorado or Golden Triangle, Mexican Army forces already present in the region are to be augmented.
Th region is known by that moniker because it is used by nearly all the drug cartels for the cultivation and production of drugs.
The region includes the areas of operations of the Mexican 9th and 10 Military Zones. Earlier in the year the 10th Military Zone conducted limited security operations in Durango state seizing drugs and guns.
An increase in violence has been reported recently in Sinaloa state as well as in Chihuahua state. The latest violence in Chihuahua took place in Guadaluoe y Calvo municipality, where two accused extortionists were captured following a gunfight with Chihuahua state ministerial agents.
Manuel Antonio Montes Hernandez, 32, and Adan Ruiz Montes, 23, were wounded in the encounter and were detained by police, but a third unidentified suspect escaped capture.
Also, Mexican Army and Naval Infantry have been seen in some strength in the municipality following the June murder of Jaime Orozco Madriga, a Partido Revolucionario Institucional candidate for municipal president of Guadalupe y Calvo. A number of shootings and shootouts have taken place as well.
General Zepeda Cienfuegos' announcement Thursday follows a more stunning announcement last month in Sinaloa when he suggested that Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's plan to return Mexico's military forces to the barracks would be delayed because of the sudden increase of drug gang violence in the region.
When asked about plans for military forces in the region, General Zepeda Cienfuegos said: "Se mantienen en las calles... (They will remain in the streets)," according to a news account which appeared in the online edition of El Debate.
Also in a separate account of that June meeting, according to El Debate, General Zepeda Cienfuegos met with local politicians and with the commander of the Mexican 3rd Military Zone, General Moses Melo Garcia in Los Mochis in Sinaloa. General Melo Garcia told the reporter that unspecified incidents in Ahome municipality had forced SEDENA to modify force deployment in the region. The general did not elaborate.
However, the general was probably referring to a series of drug related murders in Sinaloa state last April and May, including nine dead found in two incidents as well as the murder of former Ahome police commander Nicolas Galaviz Vasquez.
General Zepeda Cienfuegos' announcement is not the first time Mexico's federal security officials have reversed themselves in the face of changing conditions. The La Laguna region is a good example, where initially Mexican Army troops had been rotated out of the region in the first of the year only later to be redeployed in a substantially more intense role that before.
La Laguna is a region that includes municipalities in western Coahuila and eastern Durango states.

[An Nahar] Militants killed 25 Iraqi security forces in a wave of attacks on Thursday, and 15 other people died in other attacks including 10 mourners in twin bombings, officials said.
The latest attacks come as Iraq witnesses a surge in violence that has killed more than 2,500 people already this year, including over 240 so far this month.
Analysts point to widespread discontent among Iraq's minority Sunni community, and the failure of the Shiite authorities to address their grievances, as the main factors driving the increase in violence.
In the single deadliest attack, gunniesrubbed out 14 members of the Iraqi security forces, including 11 charged with protecting the country's vital oil infrastructure, on the road between Haditha and Baiji, northwest of the Iraqi capital.
In another bloody attack, a boom-mobiledestroyed a funeral tent where family members of a Shiite man were receiving condolences in Muqdadiyah, northeast of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... , and a jacket wallah detonated explosives when emergency personnel arrived.
The blasts killed a total of 10 people and maimed 22.
Sunni bully boyz including those linked to al-Qaeda frequently target members of the Iraq's Shiite majority, whom they regard as apostates.
Iraq was plagued by sectarian violence that killed tens of thousands of people in past years, and there are persistent fears that tensions will again boil over into all-out conflict.
In Tikrit, north of Storied Baghdad, three roadside kabooms targeted police patrols, killing three coppers and wounding five.
And in Khaldiya, a town in Anbar province, bully boyz opened fire on a cop shoppe, after which one suicide bomber detonated an explosives belt in the station, and another blew up an explosives-rigged car, killing four police and wounding eight.
One of the attackers was also rubbed out during the assault.
Militants also fired three mortars at the police directorate in Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids... also in Anbar, after which a suicide boom-mobileer struck near the building, and festivities broke out.
One policeman was killed and three more maimed in the violence.
The attacks came after a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle near a convoy on a highway in Anbar on Wednesday night, killing two coppers and wounding two others.
A boom-mobile also rocked south-central Storied Baghdad on Thursday, killing one policeman and two civilians, and wounding nine.
In the northern city of djinn-infested Mosul, gunnies killed a soldier in front of his home, and a roadside kaboom killed a policeman and maimed another.
Another man was rubbed out south of djinn-infested Mosul, while gunnies killed a man in the Sharqat area, northwest of Storied Baghdad.
And in the northern town of Tuz Khurmatu, a boom-mobilemaimed 32 people, while two other boom-mobiles northwest of the city of Kirkuk maimed 14.

solution.... every time the terrorists shoot a rocket at Israel's civilian population, Israel should drop a daisycutter or moab bomb on Gaza, indiscriminately.
Or announce ahead of time what area of Gaza would be hit in advance. Although the liberals and ankle biters would whine and cry, it would solve the rocket problem toot sweet
Eight soldiers escorting teachers in southern Thailand were slightly injured by a roadside bomb in Yala province yesterday, the first attack since the beginning of Ramadan. The blast occurred about 7:50 a.m. as the soldiers were traveling along a country road in a military truck in Raman district.
Deputy Prime Minister Pracha Promnok, who is in charge of internal security, said the bombing was an attempt to make trouble and not a serious attempt to cause large-scale destruction.
Lt Gen Paradorn said there was no guarantee that unrest would stop during Ramadan despite a reduction in violence during the period being a key condition of the peace negotiations.
Officials will inform the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) separatist group via the Malaysian government within 48 hours of any violent attack which occurs during the fasting period.
[Ynet] Free Syrian Army Supreme Military Council member double crossed in strategy meeting with Islamic State group in Latakia, spokesperson says
The scorpion cannot keep from stinging...
Militants linked to al-Qaeda in Syria killed a senior figure in the Western- and Arab-backed Free Syrian army on Thursday, an FSA source said, signaling a widening rift between Islamists and more moderate elements in the armed Syrian opposition.
Kamal Hamami, a member of the Free Syrian Army's Supreme Military Council, known by his nom de guerre Abu Bassel al-Ladkani, was meeting with members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in the port city of Latakia when they killed him, Qassem Saadeddine, a Free Syrian Army front man, told Rooters.
"The Islamic State phoned me saying that they killed Abu Bassel and that they will kill all of the Supreme Military Council," Saadeddine said from Syria.
"He met them to discuss battle plans," Saadeddine added.
Meeting adjourned!
The Free Syrian Army has been trying to build a network of logistics and reinforce its presence across Syria as the US administration pledged to send weapons to the group after it concluded that Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Oppressor of the Syrians and the Lebs... 's forces had used chemical weapons against rebel fighters.
US congressional committees are holding up the plan because of fears that such deliveries will not be decisive and the arms might end up in the hands of Islamist bully boys, security sources have said.
While Free Syrian Army units sometimes fight alongside Islamist bully boy groups such as the Islamist State, rivalries have increased and al-Qaeda-linked groups have been blamed for several liquidations of commanders of moderate rebel units.

[An Nahar] The Jaafar clan of Hermel on Wednesday announced that the bodies of two of its members who had gone missing in Syria two months ago have been found.
The clan identified the two men as Ahmed Youssef Jaafar and Mohammed Mahdi Jaafar.
According to state-run National News Agency, the two went missing while on a shopping trip to a town in the countryside of Syria's Qusayr.
NNA said the two bodies were transported to al-Batoul Hospital in Hermel.
LBCI television said the two young men, who hail from the northern Bekaa town of Sahlat al-Ma', had entered Qusayr's countryside to buy some goods.
"After their families received information from a member of the Syrian opposition saying that they were killed and buried in a certain location, the two bodies were recovered from Syrian territory and transferred to a hospital in Hermel for DNA tests, which determined that they belong to the two young men," LBCI added.
