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.

Gaza-bound aid boat with Greta Thunberg on board arrives in Israel after seizure
Jerusalem: A Gaza-bound aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists arrived at an Israeli port after Israeli forces stopped and detained them, enforcing a longstanding blockade of the Palestinian territory that has been tightened during the Israel-Hamas war. The boat, accompanied by Israel's navy, arrived in the port of Ashdod, Israel's Foreign Ministry a post on X early on Tuesday (AEST). It published a photo of Thunberg on social media after disembarking. The 12 activists are undergoing medical checks to ensure that they are in good health, the ministry said. They were expected to be held at a detention facility in the city of Ramle before being deported, according to Adalah, a legal rights group representing them. The activists had set out to protest Israel's ongoing military campaign in the Gaza Strip, which is among the deadliest and most destructive since World War II, and its restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid. Both have put the territory of around 2 million Palestinians at risk of famine. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which organised the voyage, said the activists were 'kidnapped by Israeli forces' while trying to deliver desperately needed aid. 'The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted and its life-saving cargo — including baby formula, food and medical supplies — confiscated,' it said in a statement. It said the ship was seized in international waters about 200 kilometres from Gaza. Israel's Foreign Ministry portrayed the voyage as a public relations stunt, saying in a social media post that 'the 'selfie yacht' of the 'celebrities' is safely making its way to the shores of Israel'. It said the activists would return to their home countries and the aid would be sent to Gaza through established channels. It circulated footage of what appeared to be Israeli military personnel handing out sandwiches and water to the activists, who were wearing life vests.
