The case of the "Gatherer Killer" continues to capture the attention of the Egyptian and Arab public, with new surprises and revelations emerging daily. Recently, audio recordings of "Nibal," the brother of the accused Karim, have surfaced, potentially implicating him in his brother's crimes. The "Al Arabiya" network aired these audio recordings during their program "Tafa'ulakum," revealing that one of Nibal's friends in America claimed that Nibal is known in the US as a "con artist."
The friend revealed that the accused Karim had been in America and got involved in a rape incident, which prompted him to flee to Egypt when he was 18 years old. Moreover, the friend mentioned that Karim's brother Nibal suddenly came into a lot of money, finding $150,000 in his personal account, a substantial amount according to the friend.
In the latest developments of the case, Egyptian authorities arrested a woman named "Hanan," who was found to have been bringing girls to Karim. The accused stated that a close friend of her daughter Shahd was one of the killer's victims. The accomplice confessed that she received money from Karim in exchange for bringing suitable girls for his desires, explaining that he requested experienced girls for immoral activities, which she sought for financial compensation.
The security agencies had arrested the "Gatherer Killer," accused of murdering three women and disposing of their bodies in desert areas in the governorates of Port Said and Ismailia. Investigations revealed that he lured women to his apartment in a residential area in the Fifth Settlement of Cairo. The general security investigations indicated that the accused, a teacher named Karim, was born in 1987, and after leaving teaching, he worked in trade for a while. It was also noted that he divorced his wife four years ago and has a 10-year-old child.
The case has sparked widespread outrage in Egyptian society, with calls for the harshest penalties to be imposed on the accused as a deterrent to others.
