Egyptian media: New details emerge in Mamoura serial killer case

New details have surfaced in the case of the so-called "Mamoura Serial Killer" in Alexandria, Egypt, as investigators continue extensive interrogations with the suspect, identified as "N.A." Authorities are also expediting the review of submitted reports and swiftly requesting further police inquiries.

In a shocking revelation, the investigation found that the suspect had specially crafted a wooden box to conceal the body of his unofficially married wife—the first victim in this horrifying case.

According to Youm7, the suspect deceived a carpenter by claiming he needed the box for storing books, documents, and case files, when in reality, he intended to use it to hide his wife's corpse after murdering her.

Following the crime, he wrapped the victim's body in plastic sheeting, sealed it with adhesive tape to prevent odors, and kept it inside the box for over eight months.

Taking his crimes further, the suspect dug a large hole in one of the rooms of an apartment he had rented in the Maamoura. He later transported his wife's body—still inside the wooden box—from their shared residence to this rented apartment, where he buried her in the hole he had prepared.

The case came to light when security forces in Alexandria discovered that the suspect had been renting a ground-floor apartment in Maamoura El-Balad, which he used to meet clients and engage in extramarital affairs.

Investigations revealed that the suspect had married his first victim unofficially. After disputes arose, he decided to kill her, placed her body in plastic bags, wrapped it in adhesive material, and stored it inside the wooden box for months.

He later committed a second murder, this time killing a female client over a financial dispute. He then decided to dispose of her body by burying her alongside his first victim, digging another hole in the middle of the apartment.

Additionally, authorities discovered the remains of a man in a separate apartment, suspected to be the suspect’s third victim. The man had been missing for three years.

A judge at the Misdemeanor Court in Alexandria has ordered the suspect to remain in custody for an additional 15 days as investigations continue into the case.
