Hamdi and the Cobra's Revenge

Recounts the true crime case of Hamdy, a police officer in Minya, Egypt, who murdered his three daughters. He initially reported their deaths as resulting from a cobra bite—an unlikely occurrence in the area—prompting a thorough investigation. Authorities first suspected his second wife, but inconsistencies, including identical bite locations and lack of external injuries, led them to consult a snake expert. Under police pressure, Hamdy confessed, revealing he had spent months acquiring and handling cobras to poison his daughters, then burning the evidence. The case concluded with an exploration of his psychological motivations, rooted in childhood trauma and misogyny, resulting in a 15-year prison sentence due to diagnosed psychological issues.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/crimenight1Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
