The Suitcase Murder and the Double Betrayal: A Vengeance Plot Rooted in Adultery and Poison · Crime Night

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's this. Okay, let's dive in picture this g he's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a governorate. It's twenty twenty one, eight o'clock in the morning.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: The ring road is busy commuters heading out, but off
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to the side this kind of desolate stretch near a wall.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not a place you'd normally stop or even really
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: look twice at exactly.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And that's where someone spots something, something really out of place.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: A travel bag, a big suitcase, just sitting there by
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the curb, almost placed, and.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: It catches the eye of a local guy, someone who
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: knows the area well. He sees it and thinks that's weird.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Uh huh. Curiosity gets the better of him. He goes over.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: He tries to lift it and gets this immediate shock.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Is heavy, like really heavy.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Way heavier than just close or something unnaturally heavy.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: So he opens it. Yeah, yeah, it's the body of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a woman.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Horrific, just instant shock. He calls the security forces straight away.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So the investigators arrive. Yeah, and they've got this suitcase,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: this this grim piece of evidence.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: The forensic team gets to work on it immediately, and
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: this is where the case takes its first major turn.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Because of what they find inside. Right right, along with the.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Victim, exactly her mobile phone, her gold, jewelry, cash, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: crucially all her official papers.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Her ID, everything valuable, everything.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Now usually in a robbery gone wrong or an opportunistic crime.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: That stuff is the first thing taken.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Precisely, the fact it was all still there. It told
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the investigators one thing, loud and clear.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's pause there. What conclusion did they draw from that?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: It's pretty central, isn't it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely key. This was not about money. It wasn't robbery,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: so what was it? It was personal malice, revenge. Someone
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: wanted her found, wanted her identified. The violence wasn't just
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the act itself. It was symbolic.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Wow, okay, so premeditated, targeted retaliation.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: That's the immediate theory. The killer wasn't trying to make
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the body disappear forever. They just wanted enough time to
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: get away after ensuring discovery.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: That changes everything. The ID names her as Mona, thirty
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: eight years old, a house cleaner.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And she lived nowhere near the Ring Road where the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: body was found, completely different area.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Plus, the autopsy shows a massive head wound, extreme force.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Right. Meanwhile, the tech team gets into Mona's phone. They're
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: looking for threats, enemies, anything, and.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: They find people trying to call her.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, loads of missed calls, mostly from one number saved
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: just as Ibrahim.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So they tracked down Ibrahim. He's forty one, a worker,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: lives in Nimbaba.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: He confirms, yes, that's his wife's phone, Mona. She vanished
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the day before, around two pm.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: He comes down to the station, identifies her things, learn
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: she's been murdered. How does he react?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: According to the investigator's genuine shock disbelief, which you know
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you'd expect.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Sure, but then they question.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Him, right, standard procedure, and he tells them, look, we
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: were married seven years, happy, peaceful life, no problems with anyone.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: He kept saying, he's just a simple worker.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, you just said that. The crime screamed personal,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: extreme revenge. But the husband is saying everything was fine,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: seven years of piece exactly.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That's the red flag. His insistence, maybe over insistence, that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: there are zero problems. It felt off.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So the police are immediately suspicious. Either he's involved or
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: he's hiding something.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Huge, that's the thinking. But then the phone yields another clue,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: something that complicates the husband did.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Its theory, Ah, the ghost number, the ghost number. Most
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: numbers on her phone are known contacts, friends, family, But
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the last number she called around three three BMM and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the one that.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Called her back completely unregistered, brand new simcard.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And how many times was he used?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Only three times? All palls to Mona are from Mona
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to that number, then shut down, deactivated, gone.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Wow, a pure burner phone just for.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: This total pre planning. Meticulous, someone who knew how to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: cover their tracks digitally.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So now you've got the maybe two insistent husband and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: this shadowy figure using burner phones. What did forensics say
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: about the timeline? The medical examiner confirmed she died less
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: than ten hours before the body was found. Cause of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: death multiple heavy blows to the head, a solid object,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: skull fracture, fatal bleeding. And where did it happen?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Not where the body was found. The analysis showed she
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: was killed elsewhere and the body was moved about three
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: hours after she.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Died, again reinforcing the planning, the calculation.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: It's all vengeance, absolutely, So the focus swings back to
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Mona's life. Who did you know who could hate her
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: this much?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Turns out her circle was small, very small.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Really, just one close friend, Rabob thirty one years old,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: also a house cleaner, a widow.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Her husband's Saber had died about a year before.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: This, exactly a year prior, and her friendship with Mona
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: wasn't casual. People described it as familial, like sisters.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, so they interview Reba.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: She seems cooperative, confused. She keeps saying Mona only worked
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: locally around in Baba or mohandessent, why would she go
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: all the way out to the Ring road for a job, which.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Sounds helpful, But knowing what we know about the burner
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: phone call setting up a meeting, Rabob's confused usion about
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the location suddenly feels significant.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It does. So now you have the husband denying problems
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and the best friend questioning the location of the setup,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: both close, both denying anything useful.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: The tension must have been building, and then the break.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: It's almost accidental. Iberheim is called back for more questions.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Rebob is just leaving her interview room. She walks past
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Ibrahim in the waiting area, and the officers watching see it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: A look passes between them, not words, just tension, extreme nervousness, visible, unmistakable.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Wow, a silent confession, almost shared history, shared guilt.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what the police thought. What secret were these
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: two hiding? What could possibly connect the grieving husband and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the confused best friend in this way?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: That had to refocus everything completely.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: They lean hard on Ibraheim about ray Bob, what's the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: real story here? And he breaks, He stutters, he falters,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: then admits, yeah, he's been holding back. He says the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: situation is much bigger than just Mona's murder.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Bigger okay. And around this time another piece falls into place.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, a witness comes forward, saw a woman late at
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: night near the Ring Road drop off spot, doing right,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: carrying a heavy suitcase, acting very nervous. She was wearing
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a nikob, fully veiled, got into a taxi.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And left a veiled woman, heavy suitcase near the drop zone,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: matching Rabob's potential movements.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: The net is tightening, ray Bob is arrested, and then
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the whole story comes out, the six years of betrayal,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the conspiracy, the double.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Murder, double murder. Okay, we need to go back. This
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: started years ago, years back.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: To twenty fifteen. Mona meets Rabob at work. They click instantly,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: become like family.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Sharing everything, trusting each other, completely.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: But by twenty sixteen, just a year later, something changes.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Rabbob develops feelings for Ibrahim, Mona's husband, and Ibrahim he reciprocates,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: tells Robb he wishes he'd met her first before Mona.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: They start a secret affair.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Oh Man for four years.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Four years and the worst part. Mona's trust is what
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: made it possible. She shared her schedule, her problems, everything
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: with Rabob.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Rabob and Ibrahim used that information to arrange their secret meetings.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: It's betrayal on an epic scale.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Happening right under Mona's nose with her sister.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So the affair evolves. It becomes more than just sneaking
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: around right.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Ibraham wants to marry Rabob, but rob is married to Saber.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: He's older of fifty seven, has a heart condition.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And Ibraheim sees him as an obstacle.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: An obstacle to be removed. He pushes Rabob, tells who
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: they need to get rid of Saber so they can
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: be together.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: He actually suggests killing him.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: He does more than suggest, he obtains the means. Early
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty, Ibrahim gets these highly toxic wheat pills grain pesticide. Basically,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: he feel stuff extremely and Raybob, she goes through with it,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: puts the pills in Saber's.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Tea well, acting like the loving Wise exactly.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Saber, with his existing heart condition, dies immediately and nobody's
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: suspected nobody. It was ruled natural causes. Raybob puts on
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: this incredible performance of grief, so convincing.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: That Mona is right there beside her, supporting her through.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: The loss, her best friend, comforting her after she murdered
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: her husband. It's chilling, a seemingly perfect crime.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So Raybob did this, killed her husband, believing Ibraheim would
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: now marry her.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: That was the deal. But after Saber's death, Ibrahim starts
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: making excuses. A year goes by, he stalls and stalls, and.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Finally admits it. Finally tells her, yeah, no, he's not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: leaving Mona. He won't marry her. He basically used her
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to get Saber out of the way. Wow, in betrayal
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: is immense. She killed for him and he lied.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: The rage she must have felt unimaginable, But instead of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: turning on Ibrahim directly.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: She decides to punish him by taking away the thing
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: he chose over her Mona.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: It's that concept mentioned in the case files kid Amnissa,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the cunning of women revenge designed for maximum psychological pain,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: not just physical harm.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Taking Mona eliminates the reason Ibrahim stayed married and potentially
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: frames him while delivering the ultimate blow.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: It's incredibly twisted, so she plans Mona's murder with the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: same cold calculation she used.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: On Saber rents the apartment far away. Yea buys the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: burner phone, the ghost number, gets the knee cob for
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: disguise jack.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Chack chack, meticulous planning.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Then she makes the call, disguises her voice, lure's Mona
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: out to the Ring Road area with the fake.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Job offer, and Mona, having no reason to suspect, falls
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: for it. She even calls Ibrahim right before heading to
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the meeting place.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Unknowingly telling her cheating husband her exact location before meeting
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: her killer best friend. The irony is brutal.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: It really is. Rob ub lets her in hidden behind
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the kneecob. Mona doesn't recognize her, walks into the trap,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: then immediate attack. Rob abuses an iron bar, strikes her
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: again and again. It's pure rage unleashed.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Then the cleanup, just as calculated.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Moves the body to the bathroom, cleans the scene, meticulously
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: packs Mona into the suitcase, making sure to leave the phone,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the gold, the id.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: The signature of revenge, making sure she's identified, making sure
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Ibraheim knows exactly what happened and why.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Then she waits five out until deep night.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Calls a taxi, drags the heavy suitcase out, drops it
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: on that desolate roadside, and just.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Vanishes, leaving behind a puzzle designed to destroy Ibrahim.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: The confessions eventually laid it all bare, the affair, the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: plot against Saber, the final act of vengeance against Mona.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Ibraham admitted his role in Saber's murder, getting the poison.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Rabob confessed to both murders, linking Mona's death directly to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Ibrahim breaking his promise after Saber was killed.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: A direct result of their filthy relationship, as the files
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: put it, and the courts swift severe given the premeditation
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the conspiracy, both Ibraham and Robibrus stuff.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: So justice finally came for Saber, but only a year later,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and only because Mona was killed, and justice.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: For Mona came within a month, a tragically short time
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: compared to the years of deception leading.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Up to it. It really underscores the danger, doesn't it,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: The danger of misplaced trust. Mona let Rabab into the
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: very core of.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Her life, shared everything, her home, her husband, her routines,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and that intimacy became the weapon used against her.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: It's a really dark reminder if you have problems, real
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: conflicts in your life and your marriage, there are ways
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: to handle them, honest ways, legal ways.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: But betrayal, conspiracy, murder that path only leads to more destruction,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: as it did here.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, it really makes you think twice about who you
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: let into your inner circle, who you share your deepest
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: vulnerabilities with, because that trust in the wrong hands can
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: be fatal.
