The story behind the story of Case-43 Labban-21. The real life case of a serial killer gang that murdered 17 women in Alexandria in 1921. Why I chose to tell the story from the prespective of Badee'a, Raya's daughter. How a Public Prosecutor was able to motivate her to testify against her parents. And notes about the socio-economic status of Egypt after World War 1, that led to the gang starting their activities. Story: ouatie.fm/stories/case-43-labban-21
