Nadera's Treachery: A Story of Betrayal and Murder · Crime Night

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Picture this. It's the dead of night. We're talking early
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, maybe three am. You're in this small, very
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: quiet farming village in a suit Egypt. Deep silence exactly,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and the air is cold, really still inside one of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: these simple mud brick houses. There's this silence, but it's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: it's not the silence of people sleeping peacefully.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Now, it's the opposite, the silence of absence. Almost. There's
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: a man there in his bed, but he hasn't just
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: passed away naturally.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: He's been silenced, silenced by a betrayal that while it's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: been building for decades.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the victim here, he was just a simple
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: farmer known in the village, hard working, respected and married
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: for twenty years to the same woman, Nadra. Twenty years
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: and his whole world really was built on this incredible
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: foundation of trust, maybe maybe too much trust. Every single
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: day he'd come home give her all his earnings, like everything.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: He relied on her completely for the household, the money,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the future, everything.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And that trust. Yeah, that became his fatal weakness. Nadra,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the woman he counted on. Yeah, she was the one
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: planning his end. She was so our mission today in
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: this deep dive is to unravel that, to look at
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the timeline of this really calculated deception, How this poisoning,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: both emotional and literal, used marriage as a shield for
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: years leading up to this one in kresly brutal night?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Was it schilling story?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let's rewind. Let's look at how this whole
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: thing was set up. For the first what thirteen years
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of their marriage, Nadra seemed she seemed like a normal,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: devoted wife.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: All right, that's the facade. But around that thirteen year mark,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: something fundamental changes. She starts building up cash, a lot
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of cash.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: More than he could possibly be earning as a simple farmer.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Right, oh way more, far, far more than his modest
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: daily wages could account for. And this is where the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: dynamics she exploited becomes so important.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Because he gave her everything, no oversight exactly. He'd handed
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: over total financial control. So when she starts having this
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: extra money, she needs a really convincing story, something that fits,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you know, the local culture.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And that's where the gambiat comes in. These informal savings clubs,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: precisely the gambiat. She tells him she's running these groups
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: with neighbors being smart with the money, saving up little.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: By little, and culturally that works.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It's perfect. It makes her look shrewd, resourceful, like a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: good wife making the most of their limited income. To him,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: this trusting guy, it just seemed like she was competent,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: not criminal.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So the cover story wasn't just hiding the money. It
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: was reinforcing this image of her as a good wife.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: But how did she explain the amount if it was
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: way more than his wages could justify good question?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: She needed something visible, tangible, so she starts buying livestock,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a few head of cattle at first, okay, and her
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: story evolves. This isn't just savings, she tells him, it's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: an investment. They're building a future. Soon they'll sell the animals,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: expand the herd. He won't just be a farmer anymore,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and he'll be a cattle trader, a step up in
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the world exactly, status, more income, and he buys it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: He's busy, he's working the fields all day. He trusts
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: her implicitly, he believed the whole thing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So the financial deception is elaborate. But then then things
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: get darker, don't they, Because while she's building this cover story,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: there are whispers, rumors start going around the village.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, quietly at first, but persistent rumors about her, her behavior,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: specifically about men visiting the house.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Men visiting while the husband is there. How is that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: even possible?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: That's the terrifying part. It points to this chilling level
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: of calculation, this ruthlessness, what you might call go brood.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: She was essentially running a business right there in the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: marital home under his nose.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: But how how did she manage that? Did he just
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: not notice? Or their daughter?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Well, this is where the really systematic awful part comes in.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: She got hold of strong sedatives, prescription stuff, relax and drug.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I know when he'd come home exhausted from the fields,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: she'd mix a heavy dose into his evening meal every night,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: regularly enough it would knock him out cold, not just
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: sleep like a deep, unnatural, almost coma like state until morning.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: So you'd wake up feeling weird exactly, groggy, unstable, disoriented.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: But he's a farmer. Routine is everything he has to
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: get up, get straight back to the fields. He likely
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: didn't have the time or space to really question why
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: he felt so terrible each morning. He'd probably just put
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it down to hard work.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That's horrifying to be drugged in your own home by
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: your wife systematically, and the daughter.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: She planned for that too, sometimes sleeping pills for the daughter.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Other times she just sent the girl off to stay
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: with relatives in the village for the night.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Clear the decks, so husband drugged, daughter gone, the.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: House was open for business. Men would come pay a
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: known price. These were transactional encounters, usually over the same night,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and that's how she build up that significant cash reserve,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: funding the livestock, the whole operation.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: For years, years, and this system, this horrifyingly efficient system,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it works until twenty twelve. Ida rise on the scene.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, Hidayah, he was a vegetable and fruit seller she
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: met at the market, also married and interestingly a distant relative. Crucially,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: he already kind of knew about Nadra's activities. The rumors
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: were out there.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: But this wasn't just another transaction, was it. It became
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: something else it did.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: That's the shift. What started as maybe just another client,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: it developed into genuine feelings, an obsession really on both
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: sides seems like it. Nodre started treating him differently. She
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: even began charging him less than her other clients. He
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: wasn't just business anymore. It was personal, emotional, and that
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: made things riskier.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: More reckless. And meanwhile, the husband, he started to put
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: things together. The weird sleep, the grogginess.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, he couldn't ignore it anymore. It was too strange
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to consistent. And then people in the village, sympathetic neighbors,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: maybe feeling sorry for him, maybe wanting to protect his honor,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: they started dropping hints.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Oh wow. So he finally hears the rumors directly about
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: men visiting his wife.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: He does, and he confronts her. You can imagine how
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: intense those arguments must have been. Absolute, but Nadra she
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: didn't break. She doubled down, denied everything flat at what
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: was her defense, pure manipulation. She told him the men
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: spreading these stories were just jealous rivals who she'd rejected,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and now they were trying to smear her name out
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: of spite.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And he believed her.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Initially, he was described as a kind man, someone who
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: really hated conflict. So yes, at first he seems to
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: have accepted her story. He wanted to believe her, but
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the rumors kept coming from different people, people he trusted.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: The fighting got worse, much worse. Her whole system was
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: starting to crack under the pressure.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: In this escalating conflict, this pressure, it leads directly to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the murder plot. She decides he has to go.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Pretty much. She's talking with Hidaiah, her lover, and she
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: basically says, I can't stand him being here anymore. He's
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: in the way. She wants him gone. So she can
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you operate freely, and so hi, guy, I can visit
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: whenever you want.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And she asks Hidayah to help kill him.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: She does. She proposes it directly, and she doesn't just
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: propose it. She puts a price on it immediately, ten
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: thousand Egyptian pounds.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Ten thousand pounds for highda to help murder her husband.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yep. And Hidiah apparently his hesitation wasn't about morals, like,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: oh this is wrong, It was practical, practical.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the husband was a big guy, physically strong. Hidiah
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: apparently said he couldn't dispose of the body by himself.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It was a logistical.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Problems, unbelievable. So Nadra the planner, Yeah, she comes up
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: with another solution.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Of course, she does always pragmatic, even in murder. She decides, okay,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: if one person can't do it, we'll bring in more.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: She proposes splitting the ten thousand pounds among among some
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: of her other regular clients she basically recruits from her
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: existing network. She picks three others, lisi Abdelmnim, and Ahmed.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So now it's Idiah plus these three four.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Conspirators, turning her clients into a hit squad.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Essentially yes, and to sweeten the deal, make sure they're
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: fully committed. There's more, she throws in a bonus two
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: of her cattle, the very livestock bought with the money
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: earned through deception. They'd get the cash and the cattle
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: as a kind of gift once the job was done.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So the plan is set, the team is assembled, the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: price agreed, the plan was fixed.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: They just needed the right.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Moment, which brings us back to that night, early twenty thirteen,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: three am.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: The final act. Nodre gives him his food, but this
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: time it's the lethal dose, even more sedatives than usual,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: plus an extra drug Hidaiah provided just to be absolutely
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: sure he wouldn't wake up, wouldn't.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Struggle utterly incapacitated.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Then the four men Hidaiya lasy Abdol, when m Ahmed
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: they enter the house. They have a weapon, a cleaver
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a's tour.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: The details are grim. The sources say it was immediate,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: one single heavy blow to the head with the cleaver,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: instant death, instantaneous, complete crushing of the skull bone. But
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: they didn't stop there. They hit him several more times.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Insurance blows essentially and Nadra, what's she doing? Calmly apparently,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: provides a sheet to wrap the body. No panic, just efficiency,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: wrap him up, carry him out out to a waiting car.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: They drive away from the village, heading for a remote
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: spot in the desert, a drainage.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Ditch their disposal plan.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, and this is where, despite all the meticulous planning
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: up to this point, they finally messed up. How so,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Their plan was to use a deep sewage well near
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: a pumping station. They thought the body would just disappear,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: decompose quickly, be impossible to find or identify. But they
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: must have picked the wrong spot, or maybe it wasn't
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: as deep or isolated as they thought, because because locals
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: found the body the very next morning.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Wow, so the cover up barely lasted a few.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Hours, didn't last at all, really.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And Nadra, thinking the body is hidden, she proceeds with
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: her plan B right, the missing person report.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: She does. She goes to the police station, plays the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: worried wife says her husband didn't come home. He usually
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: gets back around three pm.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: But the police already know about the body.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Exactly and her description of his clothes. It's a perfect
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: match for the victim they just pulled out of the ditch.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Suspicion falls on her immediately. They bring her in, They
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: take her to the morgue. She identifies him, yes, but
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the police notice she's incredibly tense, almost unnaturally calm. No
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: real shock, no deep grief. It just doesn't add up.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: The investigation must have moved fast. Then what was the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: key evidence.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: The forensic report was absolutely critical. It confirmed the cause
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: of death, severe catastrophic skull drama from multiple blows. Now
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: that could initially fit a story about robbers or an.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Attack, right, could support her deny.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the toxicology report. That was the nail in the coffin. Ah.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: The sedatives, not just sedatives, a massive quantity, a lethal
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: overdose found in his bloodstream. So now you have two
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: conflicting things, brutal external violence and internal chemical poisoning.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Which points directly back to someone inside the house, someone
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: with access to his food over time.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Precisely, it screams intimate partner involvement, and the police they
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: quickly connect this physical evidence with those persistent village rumors
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: about Nadra's reputation.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: So they search the house.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: They do, and they find what's left of the sedatives
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and crucially tiny traces of blood spatter on the wall
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: near the bed. Small residues, but enough.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Game over.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Completely, Faced with the forensics, the drugs in his system,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the blood evidence, combined with her known reputation, Nadra confesses
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to everything.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: The years of drugging, the affairs, the money, the murder plot,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: all of it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: She lays out the entire scheme, including the roles of
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Hydaia Li si Abdelmnim and off.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Ed, and they were arrested quickly after, very quickly.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: The whole case wrapped up fast once she confessed and
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the evidence lined up.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: It really highlights the motive, doesn't it. Yeah, it wasn't
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: just simple greed, though that was part of it. It
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: was about preserving the entire lifestyle.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Exactly, her freedom, her income stream, her relationship with Hydia.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Her husband had become an obstacle to all of that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: His very existence threatened the whole edifice she'd built on
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: his trust, so he had to.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Be removed, cold calculated, and a likely.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Outcome for her and the four men given the premeditation,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the brutality. Execution is the probable sentence in this kind
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: of case.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: So when we step back and look at this whole thing,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: what stays with you? For me, it's not just the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: violence of the final act, which was horrific.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: It's the duration, the sure length of the deception.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, seven years maybe more, of this sustained performance, drugging him,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: lying to him, using his home, his trust, while planning
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: his potential demise for at least some of.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: That time, maintaining that mask of devotion day in day
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: out while carrying out this systematic betrayal. It's profoundly disturbing.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: It really makes you think, doesn't it, about the capacity
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: for that level of sustained, calculated darkness. How long can
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: someone live that kind of double life, poisoning everything around
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: them from the inside out? What does that reveal about well,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: about the darker potential of human nature?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: That's the question that lingers long after the details of
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the crime fade. A truly unsettling thought to leave you
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: with
