A harrowing case of serial child abduction and murder in Upper Egypt, involving Hanan and Afnad. Afnad, the powerful matriarch, held traditional views favoring male heirs and pressured her daughter-in-law, Hanan, after she bore three daughters. Following Hanan’s initial act of revenge—murdering a nephew—Afnad blackmailed Hanan into committing additional kidnappings and murders to create the illusion of a criminal ring. The situation escalated until a fourth child was abducted and found being burned in a traditional oven by Afnad. Both women were arrested and confessed, exposing the horrific extent of their crimes, driven by deep-seated family conflict and societal pressures.
