Crime Night

The Traitor at the Funeral


Listen Later

This episode recounts a chilling triple homicide that took place in Egypt’s Sharqia Governorate in 2015, where a retired official, his wife, and her sister were fatally stabbed inside their home. The crime was reportedly driven by greed connected to a land sale, but what shocked investigators most was the betrayal from within the family. A relative, Atef, allegedly orchestrated the robbery, surveilled the house, and coordinated with an accomplice who carried out the attack. In a brazen attempt to avoid suspicion, he even attended the victims’ funeral and mourning gatherings. Authorities ultimately unraveled the case through physical evidence—including abandoned ladders and bloodstained clothing—combined with suspicious behavior. The case stands as a grim modern example of the proverb about a killer who walks among the mourners of his own victims.
