The Cold Calculation of Sayeda: How a Forged Divorce and Dismemberment Baffled Giza Police for 15 Months

from Crime Night · host Crime Night

In 1988, authorities in Giza were horrified to find a decapitated head discarded in a trash can. The victim was soon identified as Mustafa, a taxi driver who had been reported missing by his wife, Sayeda. For over a year, the case went cold, but investigators eventually turned their attention to Sayeda herself. They uncovered her double life—an extramarital affair and a fraudulent second marriage—revealing her manipulative and cunning nature. Sayeda ultimately confessed: she had poisoned Mustafa, dismembered his body into eight pieces, and enlisted a truck driver she seduced to help scatter the remains along a highway. She was later convicted and sentenced to execution for the crime.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/crimenight1Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
