  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Deep Dive. We always aim to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: pull out those key insights from the materials you share
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: with us. Today, we're looking into a really disturbing case
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: from twenty thirteen. It's one of those stories that just
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: shows how desire, chance, maybe even fate can all collide
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: in the most unexpected and frankly horrifying ways. It begins
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: late on the Thursday night. Think about it the ear.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's cold, sharp, it's twenty thirteen, eleven thirty pm. You're
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: out in the first settlement area. It's a pretty desolate
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: mountainous terrain outside the city, lots of new construction, just
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: skeletal frames against the dark sky, and it is quiet,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: like really.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Almost unnervingly quiet out there exactly.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: And then you hear this low hum breaking the silence.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: It's a security patrol car, headlights cutting through the black.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: They're just doing their routines sweep, you know, looking for
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: people stealing stuff from the construction sites. Pretty standard.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was apparently a common issue there, theft of material,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: so a patrol wasn't unusual, not at all.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But tonight, tonight they find something completely different, something way worse.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Right. They spot this car.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just off the road, stalled, the hoods up, this
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: young guy in the mood standing outside, and inside in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the passenger seat, there's another young man, a men, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: he's just sitting there really still, like unnervingly still.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: What stillness? That's immediately strange, isn't it. If your car
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: breaks down, you're usually both outside or you know, doing
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: something totally.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: So the patrol pulls up. They ask the usual questions, Hey,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: car trouble, but the answers they get are well, they're fumbled, nervous.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: You can just feel the tension hanging heavy around these two.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And a man he just stays put, refuses to even
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: get out of the car.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And that right there, that refusal, that's a huge red
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: flag for the officers. Why wouldn't you get out? It
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: just doesn't make sense for a simple breakdown. Their instincts
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: must have been firing.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, And those instincts were spot on. As the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: officers get closer, their flashlights sweep across the men inside
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the car, and they see it on his t shirt,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a dark stains.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: It's unsettling even in the dim light. They realize what
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Blood, no mistaking it. So now they demand a mean
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: get out he finally does. They do a quick look
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: inside the car, the main part, don't see anything obvious,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: but something draws them to the trunk.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Your suspicion is high now. The blood stain, the nervousness,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a men's reluctance, it all points to something.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Hidden, and it was hidden. They open the trunk and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the whole scene just shatters.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is where the true horror comes out. They
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: find two large sacks and they're heavy and stained, blood soaked.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: They open one and it's not just stains, it's dismembered
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: human remains. God, it's unimaginable.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: In that moment, both a mean and my mood just
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: they collapse. Yeah, right there. They start confessing. Immediately, the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: patrol realizes they've just stumbled onto a murder scene, purely
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: by chance.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: It's staggering, a random car break down at that exact spot,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a routine patrol passing at that exact moment.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It really makes you think, doesn't it. How sometimes the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: most elaborate plans can be undone by just sheer coincidence,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: pure random chain.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, So the question becomes, how did they end up there?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: What look them to that desolate spot with such a
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: horrifying secret.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Let's trace it back. Let's look at m N first.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: He's twenty three, a physical therapist originally from Garbia, had
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: what you'd think was a decent career.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Path, right, you would think so, a respectable profession.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: But apparently he wasn't satisfied. He wanted more, more money,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: more influence. He wasn't interested in the legitimate past. Yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and the details we have suggests he had this weird charm,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a manipulative ability to convince people that whatever he was doing,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: even if it was wrong, was somehow justified.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: That's a dangerous trait, not just ambition, but the power
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: to warp other people's judgment to fit his own skewed morality,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: using his profession almost as a weapon for gain rather
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: than healing.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Right. So twoty twelve, he moves to Cairo, looking for
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: bigger opportunities, supposedly in physical therapy, gets a job at
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a center in hull On, and that's where he meets Hanan.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, so Hannan. She's forty three living in Baba, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: her connection to a men's starts because her daughter needs
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: physical therapy exactly.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Her daughter has some health condition affecting her movement and Hannan. Interestingly,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: she had a good reputation in her community. People thought
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: well of her.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Which makes what happens next even more jarring.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: It really does, because this wasn't just about therapy. A
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: min sees An Anne sees her gold jewelry, sees her
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: daughter's situation, and he sees an opportunity. He starts inventing
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: new treatments just to get more money out.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Of her, exploiting her vulnerability and her daughter's condition. That's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: quite predatory.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: But Hennan wasn't just a victim here. It seems she
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: saw Amen twenty years younger than her, and she apparently
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: became interested, infatuated. Maybe she started using the therapy sessions
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: as an excuse long absences from home, you know.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Ooh, so it was mutual exploitation in a way, both
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: using the situation for their own selfish reasons. He wanted money,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: she wanted him.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Seems like it driven by self interest, and within a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: month wasn't professional anymore. It became an illicit affair.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Wow, that escalated quickly.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And then four months later, Amin moves his practice
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to Fasal, closer to his place and close to Hannan's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: place and Ambaba two.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Convenient, very convenient, making the affair easier to continue.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: For seven months, it goes on like this, meeting in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: his apartment in Fasal. He's consistently taking money from her.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: They're living this life of deceit, betrayal, and apparently they
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: didn't seem bothered by it at.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: All, just completely wrapped up in their own arrangement, regardless
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of the consequences. Were the morality of it a real
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: lack of conscience shown there.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But then something happens. Early twenty thirteen, Amine's father dies.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: He goes back home to Garbia for about three months,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and during that time it seems like he has a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: moment of clarity or maybe guilt.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, what happened?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He tries to cut things off with Hinnan, ignores her, calls,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: talks about wanting to live a more righteous life. It
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: looks like maybe, just maybe he's having second.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Thoughts as a brief pause. But was it genuine remorse
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: think or just triggered by the grief and being away
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: from the situation.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Well it didn't last long, that's the thing.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Ah, So the righteous life didn't stick.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Not at all. Within a month of that reflection period,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: he's back back in Cairo, back in Fasal, and back
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: with Hannah.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Wow, just snapped right back into the old pattern.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Yep. He even doubles down, partners with a friend to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: open a new physical therapy center in Shubra, more potential income.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: The wrong life, as he supposedly called it, was back
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in full swing.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: So much for that glimmer of conscience. The pull of
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: easy money, or maybe just the habit of the relationship
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: was too strong, it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Seems that way. Yeah, so they fall back into the affair.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Two more months pass, and then Hanan drops a bombshell. Okay,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: what now, she tells me, and she's going to divorce
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: her husband and she wants to marry him.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Marry a Min after everything.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, and apparently she said she didn't care about her
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: daughter and this whole equation just wanted him.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: That's chilling, completely abandoning her family, her sick child for
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: this affair. That's beyond so interest, that's destructive obsession.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: A Min was apparently shocked, horrified. Even marriage was never
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: on his radar for him. It was always about the money,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the convenience, that was it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: So her ultimatum completely misread the entire basis of their
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: relationship from his perspective.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: At least completely. So the very next day, he calls
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: her tells her he's tired of this wrong life, using
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that phrase again and tells her to stay away. He's done.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: But Hannon doesn't hear it that way.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: No, she misinterprets it maybe denial. She thinks he just
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: needs space, like, Okay, I'll give him a couple of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: days to cool off.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: She's still clinging to the idea that this is real,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that he feels the same way. That denial is.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Powerful, tragically powerful, because the very next day she gets
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: news someone tells her a min is getting engaged to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: someone else.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, so the wrong life excuse wasn't about morality
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Nope, it was just him clearing the decks for his
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: actual fiance. The truth hits hand on like a ton
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of bricks. She realizes she's been played, completely.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Used, and the betrayal flips the switch big time.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: She's enraged, and she swears, according to details we have
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that he'll be hers, or he won't belong to.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Anyone that vow hers or no one else's. That's incredibly ominous.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: That's not love.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: That's possession, definitely, So she starts calling him again and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: again for days. Yeah, he refuses to answer. She knows
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: his routino, knows when he'll be at his fasal apartment.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: So she decides to confront him directly.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: She goes straight there. He opens the door, and she
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: just unleashes starts screaming, clearly intending to cause a scene,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: expose him right there in the building.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: He must have panicked, his whole plan, his engagement potentially
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: falling apart.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Total panic, He yanks her inside the apartment to shut
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: her up, and in that split second, that desperate moment
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to avoid exposure, he makes a decision, a fatal one.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: He realizes he has a silencer. Permanently, he strangles her
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: right there. She collapses, lifeless.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Just like that, from confrontation to murder in moments, driven
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: by the fear of his secrets coming out.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: The suddenness is terrifying, and then the aftermath he just
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: sits there next to her body for an hour, just
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: paralyzed by what he'd done.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: This shock must have been immense, but then the need
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: to cover it up kicks.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: In exactly The panic might subside slightly replaced by this cold,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: desperate need to hide it, A plan starts forming. He
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: leaves the apartment, goes out and buys two large sacks.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Already thinking about disposal. The mind shifts quickly from shock
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: to self preservation. However, twisted, he.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Comes back, tries to put her body in the sacks,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: but realizes it's difficult. She won't fit easily, so his
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: plan changes. He decides to dismember the body and then
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: burn it, destroy any possible identification God.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: The sheer brutality of that decision and the calculation involved.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He actually starts a fire, tries to burn the remains
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: inside the apartment, but the smoke it immediately becomes a problem.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: He realizes the neighbors will notice.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: He has to put the fire out, another plan foiled
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: by practical reality. The desperation must have been escalating.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: So burning is out. He goes back to the dismemberment,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: forces the parts into the two sacks, A gruesome, horrific
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: task and imaginable, and when it's finally done, he knows
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: he can't dispose of it alone. He needs help. He
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: needs a car, so he calls his cousin.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Mahmoud, the same AMoD who was outside the stall of car.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Later that night, the.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Very same Amin calls him, says he has a problem,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: says he needs Mamoud to come over right away, bring
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: his car. Doesn't explain what the problem is over the phone.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: So Mamood arrives completely unprepared for what he's about to
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: walk into.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Completely he gets there, Amine shows him everything. My mood
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: is utterly shocked, horrified, and at first he refuses. He says, no,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: he won't help.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: With this, as anyone would hopefully. But then Umin's special
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: ability comes into play.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Remember that strange, manipulative charm, that ability to convince people
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: his way was right. He turns it on my mood.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: We don't exactly what he says, but somehow he twists
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the situation, persuades his cousin, plays on loyalty or fear
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: or something.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: And Mamod caves agrees to help dispose of his cousin's victim.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: That's a chilling example of Amen's influence overriding someone's basic
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: moral compass in a moment of extreme crisis.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: It really is. So together, they carry the sacks down
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to Mamod's car, load them into the trunk. Their plan
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: now is to drive out to that deserted area Tagamoa
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Ala Wall, the place with all the unfinished construction dump
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the remains there. They figure the dismemberment will make identification.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Impossible, banking on the isolation of the location and the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: state of the remains to cover their tracks.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: A desperate gamble, a gamble that failed spectacularly, because that's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: when fate or maybe just bad lug for them steps
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: in again. On the way there, or maybe right when
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: they arrive at that desolate.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Spot, a car breaks damp.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Mood's car just stalls, dies right there in the middle
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of nowhere, the perfect place to dumb a body, maybe,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: but the worst place to have car trouble when you
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: have something horrific in your trunk.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: And then the final piece of disastrous coincidence.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: For them the headlights. That routine security patrol just doing
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: its rounds happens to come along right then and they
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: see the stalled car they seem, a mood outside, a
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: mean inside, and the whole carefully constructed, albeit horrific cover
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: up just.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Unravels undone by a stalled engine and a random patrol.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: It's almost unbelievable, the sheer unlikeliness of it all. Converging
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: at that exact moment, So.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: The police investigate. Obviously, Amine confesses to everything tells them
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: who Hannan was. The whole sordid story of their affair,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the murder, the dismemberment, and.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: The forensic evidence backs it all up. The state of
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the body, the failed attempt to burn it, It all
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: fits his confession. A complete picture emerged very quickly.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there wasn't much doubt left. A meanless sentenced to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: death for the murder. As for moh Mood, his cousin,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the specific outcome for him isn't detailed in the information
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: we reviewed.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: It's such a bleak story. You look at them in
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: this physical therapist with potential choosing manipulation and violence. You
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: look at Hanan caught an obsession disregarding her own family.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Neither seem to have much regard for morality or integrity.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Both driven entirely by their immediate desires, their self interests.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: It really cost them everything. Yeah, and others too, tragically.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: It really makes you think about how seemingly small choices,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: those little compromises with yourself, those self serving decisions, how
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: they can pile up, how they can lead you down
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: a path you can't turn back from.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Until you reach a point of no return. And then
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's just the most random thing, sheer chance that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: brings everything crashing down, a broken down car on a deserted.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Road exactly which leaves you wondering, doesn't it about accountability?
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: If the cover up hadn't been undone by pure chance,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: would the truth ever have surfaced? What does that say
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: about our reliance on fate sometimes to deliver justice when
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: human actions fail to prevent tragedy. It's a sobering thought
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: to end on
