Secret Lover, Two Weapons: The Unraveling of the Sharqiya Double Murder

In 2019, Sharqia Governorate witnessed a shocking double murder that began with the brutal killing of Amal, a 65-year-old woman, and her young granddaughter, Habiba. The bodies were discovered by Amal’s son, Nader (name changed), who found his home turned into a crime scene marked by violence but without signs of forced entry or theft. The forensic investigation revealed disturbing details. Amal had suffered fatal head injuries from a hammer and had been in a consensual sexual relationship shortly before her death. Habiba, tragically, was killed with a heavy wooden window shutter, silenced to ensure she could not reveal what she had witnessed. The trail of evidence—surveillance footage and forensic clues—pointed to Ibrahim, a close friend of Nader. Under questioning, he confessed. For six months, Ibrahim had been having an affair with Amal, but when she began pressuring him to marry her, he snapped. He murdered Amal in a fit of rage, then killed little Habiba to cover up the crime. The court delivered its final judgment: Ibrahim was sentenced to death, his betrayal and brutality leaving a lasting scar on the family and the 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/
