Latest / Crime Night / Wife's Slow Poison and Fiery Revenge Plan
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Imagine this. It's one thirty pm in l Mujafav, a
- 0:03Speaker 1: quiet agricultural village in Egypt's Sharkia Governorate. It's hot, it's still,
- 0:09Speaker 1: and then the silence is just ripped apart by this deep,
- 0:12Speaker 1: violent explosion. What comes next is just pure chaos. You
- 0:17Speaker 1: have neighbors running out into the street and they're immediately
- 0:20Speaker 1: hit by this thick black smoke, and I mean a
- 0:23Speaker 1: truly devastating sight. The blast was so powerful that an
- 0:27Speaker 1: entire section of a house wall had just collapsed into
- 0:30Speaker 1: the road. And in the middle of all the screaming,
- 0:33Speaker 1: a woman is seen stumbling out. She collapses onto the ground,
- 0:36Speaker 1: just you know, hysterically grieving.
- 0:38Speaker 2: And that woman was as Us.
- 0:40Speaker 1: That's Aza, and she's screaming to anyone who will listen,
- 0:42Speaker 1: clinging to her little boy, and she's repeating this one
- 0:45Speaker 1: story over and as a tragic accident, a gas cylinder exploded,
- 0:50Speaker 1: she says, she just barely escaped with her child. It
- 0:53Speaker 1: is this terrifying performance, really all designed to sell one
- 0:56Speaker 1: simple lie, but.
- 0:57Speaker 2: The scene itself, the physical evidence, it told completely to
- 1:00Speaker 2: diferent story. This was no random accident. So our deep
- 1:02Speaker 2: dive today is about peeling back the layers of that day.
- 1:05Speaker 2: It's about understanding the five months of cold, systematic planning
- 1:10Speaker 2: that led to that fire. What everyone saw as a
- 1:13Speaker 2: tragedy was actually, as our sources confirm, the final act
- 1:16Speaker 2: of what was later called devilish revenge.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Okay, so let's unpack this whole thing, because this wasn't
- 1:21Speaker 1: an impulse, It wasn't a snap decision. Before all this destruction,
- 1:25Speaker 1: there was a marriage, a twelve year relationship, two children,
- 1:28Speaker 1: which really brings us to the central question, who or
- 1:31Speaker 1: Mohammed Askar and Awsa And how does a relationship that
- 1:35Speaker 1: starts with so much.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Love and like this, Well, to really get the betrayal,
- 1:39Speaker 2: you have to understand how deep that initial commitment was.
- 1:42Speaker 2: We're talking about twenty sixteen. Mohammad is barely eighteen years old,
- 1:45Speaker 2: and he is just completely consumed with love for his
- 1:47Speaker 2: neighbor Aza Wow. Family accounts say his devotion was I
- 1:51Speaker 2: mean absolute. He called her his paradise. He was just
- 1:54Speaker 2: fiercely determined to marry her, and he did.
- 1:56Speaker 1: And they got married, had two kids. For a little while,
- 1:59Speaker 1: they even try to build a life in Cairo, where
- 2:01Speaker 1: Mohammed got a job at a coffee shop, right, But
- 2:04Speaker 1: that city life and his very simple, modest income that
- 2:08Speaker 1: became the pressure point almost immediately, and.
- 2:10Speaker 2: That is where you really start to see the meticulous
- 2:14Speaker 2: planning takes shape. Azza insists they go back to the village, okay,
- 2:19Speaker 2: and she gives two reasons. The second one becomes her
- 2:21Speaker 2: primary weapon. First, she says she's lonely and isolated in Cairo.
- 2:26Speaker 2: But the critical accusation she makes is that Mohammed is
- 2:29Speaker 2: bringing his friends home to.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Use drugs and his family.
- 2:33Speaker 2: His family vehemently denied it. They suggested it was just
- 2:36Speaker 2: completely fabricated, but it didn't matter. Aza had her narrative.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Mohammed was irresponsible, corrupted by the city.
- 2:43Speaker 1: That's so interesting this She chose that specific claim. If
- 2:46Speaker 1: the family says it's not true, it feels like it
- 2:48Speaker 1: served two purposes wrong. It gets her back to the village,
- 2:51Speaker 1: and it justifies what she does next, which is all
- 2:53Speaker 1: about financial control. Her focus shifts intensely to money. She's
- 2:58Speaker 1: convinced he's wasting his coffee shop on drugs and late.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Nights exactly, and so she starts making these increasingly exaggerated
- 3:05Speaker 2: financial demands.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Which he can't possibly.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Meet, not on his income. So the conflict just becomes
- 3:10Speaker 2: constant and severe. His family, you know, seeing all this pressure,
- 3:14Speaker 2: they often stepped in. They would send Asa money themselves
- 3:16Speaker 2: just to try and keep the peace.
- 3:18Speaker 1: But that didn't stop the conflict, did it. Yeah, Because
- 3:20Speaker 1: as he's spending five or six days a week working
- 3:23Speaker 1: in Cairo, she starts accusing him of cheating.
- 3:25Speaker 2: She weaponized his absence. She'd say, if you're gone that long,
- 3:29Speaker 2: sometimes only coming home once a month, you must be
- 3:32Speaker 2: with other women.
- 3:33Speaker 1: So Mohammed, I mean, his marriage is clearly on the brink.
- 3:37Speaker 1: He decides to make this huge concession to prove he's loyal.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Right, this is in late twenty twenty two, just five
- 3:43Speaker 2: months before the explosion. He agrees to completely change his
- 3:46Speaker 2: work schedule to match her demands. Five days in Cairo,
- 3:50Speaker 2: but then the entire two day weekend he's at home
- 3:52Speaker 2: in the village. It was his last best attempt to
- 3:55Speaker 2: restore trust.
- 3:56Speaker 1: An attempt that really just sealed his fate because that
- 3:59Speaker 1: news sc sched That's what starts the clock on his murder.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Within just three weeks of that new fifty two schedule,
- 4:06Speaker 1: this subtle, long whisper of pain begins Mohammad starts getting
- 4:10Speaker 1: a strange kind of on and off distress in.
- 4:12Speaker 2: His stomach, and this detail is so critical to understanding
- 4:16Speaker 2: the calculation behind the whole crime. When Mohammed mentions this pain,
- 4:19Speaker 2: this mild recurring pain, to his mother, to his sister,
- 4:22Speaker 2: and to as a the response from all of them
- 4:25Speaker 2: is basically dismissal.
- 4:26Speaker 1: What do they say?
- 4:27Speaker 2: They all said the same thing. It has to be
- 4:29Speaker 2: normal indigestion, you know, from eating street food during his
- 4:32Speaker 2: five days away in Cairo.
- 4:34Speaker 1: The brilliance of the plan, or I guess the sheer
- 4:36Speaker 1: wickedness of it was in that explanation. Everyone bought it.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Everyone.
- 4:40Speaker 1: So for four long months, Muhammed is suffering, thinking he
- 4:43Speaker 1: just has some chronic stomach rug. He even starts taking
- 4:46Speaker 1: unprescribed stomach medicine trying to treat what he thinks is
- 4:49Speaker 1: just you know, bad food.
- 4:50Speaker 2: And he's completely trusting her judgment. She's the one who
- 4:53Speaker 2: keeps reinforcing that street food explanation. What he doesn't realize,
- 4:58Speaker 2: what no one realizes, is that his her wife is
- 5:00Speaker 2: giving him small, non lethal doses of poison in his
- 5:03Speaker 2: food every single week. Wow, she wasn't trying for a
- 5:07Speaker 2: quick death. She was psychologically conditioning him and his whole
- 5:11Speaker 2: family to accept that this chronic pain was his new normal.
- 5:15Speaker 1: It's twist of fate, a bit of chance. The calendar
- 5:19Speaker 1: brings Oz's birthday. Mohammed, you know, still trying to be
- 5:22Speaker 1: the loving husband, takes an unexpected leaf from work and
- 5:25Speaker 1: comes home mid week to surprise her. And apparently the
- 5:28Speaker 1: mood was actually calm and positive.
- 5:30Speaker 2: That Tuesday, but his sister was still really worried about
- 5:33Speaker 2: this four month long stomach issue. Seeing him home unexpectedly,
- 5:37Speaker 2: she takes the initiative. She books him an appointment with
- 5:40Speaker 2: an internal medicine specialist for the next morning, for Wednesday.
- 5:43Speaker 1: And that appointment was the final threat to Oz's whole plan.
- 5:47Speaker 2: It was the one thing she hadn't counted on.
- 5:49Speaker 1: So Wednesday morning, Mohammed is ready to go to the
- 5:51Speaker 1: doctor because Oza steps in. She convinces him to cancel it,
- 5:54Speaker 1: to just skip the appointment. She and sists he stay.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Home, and she makes it a promise.
- 5:59Speaker 1: She promises she'll we'll personally make him clean, home cooked food,
- 6:02Speaker 1: specifically vegetable soup to finally heal his stomach.
- 6:05Speaker 2: And Mohammed probably weakened after months of this pain and
- 6:09Speaker 2: maybe touched by her sudden care, he agrees. He goes
- 6:12Speaker 2: into the bedroom to rest while she goes to the kitchen.
- 6:14Speaker 1: She comes back not with soup, but with a glass
- 6:18Speaker 1: of juice. Mohammad drinks it and immediately that dull, chronic
- 6:23Speaker 1: ache he'd gotten so used to it's gone. It's replaced
- 6:26Speaker 1: by a searing, violent, immediate pain, a completely different feeling.
- 6:31Speaker 2: And that's the moment.
- 6:32Speaker 1: That is the moment. Yeah. Ahuzzo walks into the room
- 6:34Speaker 1: and tells the incapacitated Mohammed the truth that the juice
- 6:37Speaker 1: he just drank was the final lethal dose of poison,
- 6:40Speaker 1: and that his suffering for the last five months wasn't
- 6:42Speaker 1: street food. It was her poisoning him week after week,
- 6:45Speaker 1: her ritual of slow murder. He's now paralyzed not just
- 6:50Speaker 1: by poison, but by the absolute horror of his wife's betrayal.
- 6:53Speaker 2: But as it wasn't done as we said, this revenge
- 6:56Speaker 2: had to be total internal and external.
- 6:58Speaker 1: It just escalates into sheer brutality. She ties him up
- 7:01Speaker 1: with a rope. Then she gets a bottle of gasoline petrol,
- 7:04Speaker 1: which she got easily from her father who and this
- 7:07Speaker 1: is significant was a dealer in flammable materials. She pours
- 7:11Speaker 1: it all over Mohammed and all over the room.
- 7:13Speaker 2: And this detail just so chilling. Mohammed was still conscious,
- 7:17Speaker 2: tied up, paralyzed, but conscious when she lit the match.
- 7:20Speaker 1: She lit the fire.
- 7:21Speaker 2: She lit the fire, making sure he was engulfed. And
- 7:24Speaker 2: then before she leaves, she does one last thing. She
- 7:27Speaker 2: had already removed, the interior door handle. She locks the
- 7:30Speaker 2: door from the outside, no chance of escape zero.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Then she grabs their son, leaves the building and starts
- 7:37Speaker 1: her performance on the street. Just moments before that massive
- 7:40Speaker 1: one thirty pm explosion brings the wall down. Unbelievable. When
- 7:44Speaker 1: the authorities, in the paramedics get there, the scene is
- 7:46Speaker 1: just shocking. Mohammed's body is severely charred. But the paramedics
- 7:51Speaker 1: they start something wrong. They immediately refused to leave the body.
- 7:54Speaker 1: They won't declare it an accident. The smoking gun, the
- 7:56Speaker 1: smoking gun, remnants of the rope that was used to
- 7:58Speaker 1: tie him up of restraint, and.
- 8:01Speaker 2: The security forces they quickly confirmed those suspicions. They found
- 8:05Speaker 2: these key discrepancies that just screamed premeditation. First, the sheer
- 8:10Speaker 2: intensity of the explosion, the total destruction inside. It just
- 8:14Speaker 2: didn't line up with her story of a simple butane
- 8:17Speaker 2: gas cylinder. The amount of accelerant use was just far,
- 8:20Speaker 2: far greater.
- 8:20Speaker 1: And second, the physical evidence in the bedroom was damning.
- 8:24Speaker 1: That missing interior door handle. I mean, that's clear proof
- 8:27Speaker 1: of intentional imprisonment. He shows someone wanted him dead with
- 8:30Speaker 1: absolutely no chance of saving himself.
- 8:32Speaker 2: And then you have the testimony witnesses put Oza outside
- 8:36Speaker 2: the home before the blast, doing her whole grief routine.
- 8:39Speaker 2: But the most crucial piece her own son mentioned to
- 8:42Speaker 2: the authorities that he saw smoke coming from his father's
- 8:45Speaker 2: room before the explosion, and that his mother told him
- 8:48Speaker 2: to be quiet and leave right away.
- 8:49Speaker 1: So oz is brought in for questioning, and with the
- 8:52Speaker 1: weight of all that evidence, the testimony, yeah, she confessed
- 8:55Speaker 1: almost immediately. She laid out the entire five month poisoning
- 8:58Speaker 1: plan for them.
- 9:00Speaker 2: He then elaborated on how methodical the cover up was
- 9:02Speaker 2: meant to be. Her only goal was to make it
- 9:04Speaker 2: look like an accident. She confessed she'd collected five bottles
- 9:08Speaker 2: of flammable material just to be sure she had enough.
- 9:11Speaker 2: She admitted she only used one on Mohammed and the
- 9:14Speaker 2: room leaving the other four hidden in a closet.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Wow.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Her only miscalculation was the force. She didn't expect the
- 9:21Speaker 2: wall to actually collapse.
- 9:22Speaker 1: And forensic evidence it backed up every single word. The
- 9:26Speaker 1: toxicology report confirmed it. Multiple spaced out doses of poison
- 9:31Speaker 1: over a long period, perfectly consistent with her five month ritual.
- 9:35Speaker 1: He died from the combined effects of the poison and
- 9:38Speaker 1: of course the catastrophic burns.
- 9:39Speaker 2: If we try to connect this to the bigger picture,
- 9:42Speaker 2: what's really astounding is the psychological mechanism, the way she
- 9:45Speaker 2: could maintain that facade for five months. She used the
- 9:48Speaker 2: poison not just to kill him, but to actively destroy
- 9:51Speaker 2: his health, his confidence, while at the same time using
- 9:54Speaker 2: that street food excuse to keep up her cover as
- 9:56Speaker 2: the concerned wife. This wasn't a crime of passion. No,
- 9:59Speaker 2: this was a cold, sustained, strategic campaign to inflict the
- 10:03Speaker 2: maximum possible suffering before the final physical act.
- 10:06Speaker 1: It's just a story of complete familial destruction. Her need
- 10:10Speaker 1: for revenge didn't just end Mohammed's life, It shattered the
- 10:13Speaker 1: whole family unit. It left two children without a father
- 10:16Speaker 1: and now without a mother. The details, I mean, the
- 10:20Speaker 1: poison disguises indigestion that canceled doctor's visit, the removes door handle.
- 10:26Speaker 1: It just paints this picture of cold, relentless strategy. It
- 10:30Speaker 1: proves that sometimes the greatest tragedies aren't impulsive acts of
- 10:33Speaker 1: rage exactly. They're the result of quiet, calculated planning.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Oza wanted to ensure there was absolutely no ambiguity about
- 10:40Speaker 2: his fate. She used two forms of murder at the
- 10:42Speaker 2: same time, a slow internal poison that destroyed his health
- 10:46Speaker 2: and trust over month, and then a violent external fire
- 10:49Speaker 2: that just physically erased him. It really makes you ask
- 10:52Speaker 2: yourself a question, doesn't it Which one was the true
- 10:54Speaker 2: vehicle of her revenge, the methodical betrayal of trust or
- 10:58Speaker 2: that final, irreversible exploshen
