The OBGYN, The Burn Barrel, and The Dogs: How a Respected Doctor Ran a Five-Year Illegal Abortion Empire

The case of Dr. Ahmad Sami, infamously nicknamed the “Devil of Kirdasa”, stands out as one of Egypt’s most disturbing criminal scandals. Beginning in 2017, Dr. Sami, an obstetrician and gynecologist, secretly ran an illegal abortion network under the cover of a legitimate medical practice. Over five years, he built a tightly controlled operation, even involving his own brother, and catered to desperate young women who paid him for procedures performed in unsafe, unlicensed conditions. The true horror, however, lay in his methods of disposing of the fetuses. Testimonies and evidence revealed that he either burned them on the clinic’s rooftop or discarded them in places where stray dogs would consume them, a routine so grotesque that it eventually caught the attention of neighbors. Residents reported seeing constant smoke rising from the building and noticed an unusual increase in stray dogs gathering near the property. By 2022, suspicions reached the authorities, prompting a raid that uncovered the full extent of his crimes. The investigation exposed not only the scope of his illegal enterprise but also the cold-blooded planning and inhumanity behind it. His arrest ended years of horrific abuse, cementing his reputation as one of the most notorious criminals in recent Egyptian history.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/crimenight1Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
