Betrayal by the Book: The Nile River Sacks, the Secret Neighbor Affair, and the Cold-Blooded Murder of Mother and Daughter

from Crime Night · host Crime Night

In Sohag, Egypt, a chilling crime began with the discovery of two bodies stuffed in sacks and dumped in the Nile: a mother, Ibtisam, and her young daughter. Forensic analysis revealed they had been strangled, and evidence showed Ibtisam had been intimate shortly before her death. The investigation soon turned toward her neighbor, Akramy. Behind closed doors, he had maintained a secret four-year affair with Ibtisam, all while married to Layla—who, in a bitter twist, was both his wife and Ibtisam’s close friend. When Ibtisam pressed him to leave his wife or threatened to expose the affair, Akramy chose silence through violence. He strangled Ibtisam to keep his secret buried, then killed her daughter to eliminate the only witness. What began as a hidden relationship ended in a brutal double murder that shocked the entire community.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/crimenight1Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
