The case of the "Gathering Butcher" continues to captivate public attention in Egypt, with new surprises unfolding daily. Following the arrest of a woman named "Hanan," who acted as a procurer by bringing girls to him, a new development has emerged. The close friend of "Shahd," Hanan's daughter, is reportedly one of the butcher's victims.
Arabia.net accessed the personal page of one of the victims named "Rahma A," 19 years old, who was identified by investigators through videos stored on the suspect "Kareem Muslim's" phone, alongside other footage of several girls and victims. The victim, "Rahma," appears in some pictures wearing a hijab and in others without it. Her emotional state is affected by her father's death six years ago when she was just 13, which she occasionally writes about on her social media, asking friends to pray for him. In one of her posts less than three months ago, she wrote, "My father was everything and my whole world. I miss him so much; I wish I could be with him."
It was revealed to Arabia.net that victim "Rahma" is from the El-Zawiya El-Hamra area and is a close friend of "Shahd," the daughter of Hanan, who was arrested and detained for 15 days pending investigations after admitting to bringing girls to the butcher for immoral activities.
Investigations revealed that Hanan would recruit victims for the suspect, providing shocking confessions in the case that has captivated Egypt. Hanan stated during interrogations that Kareem had specific criteria regarding the girls she was to recruit for him to engage in sadistic acts. She sent him pictures before finalizing arrangements with the victims for him to choose from.
She chose them based on his preferred specifications, mentioning, "Ever since I heard about his arrest, I knew I would get involved in this case." She explained that Kareem favored slender girls and requested that she bring him such victims. Based on the photos, victim "Rahma" fits his preferred description, being slender, petite, and young.
Hanan confessed that she received financial compensation from Kareem for recruiting girls according to his desires and noted he preferred experienced girls for his immoral exploits, while she too sought to meet his demands for money.
Additionally, a renewal order was issued by the remand judge in Port Said, extending the detention of Kareem Muslim, dubbed the Gathering Butcher, for another 15 days pending ongoing investigations in case number 296 for the year 2024, regarding his alleged involvement in the deaths of three girls after engaging in immoral acts with them, torturing them, and forcing them to consume narcotic substances.
