The Eid Massacre: How "Excessive Kindness" Cloaked a Quadruple Murder and Deadly Betrayal
Al-Safi was considered one of the kindest and most trustworthy men in his village. In 2017, on the eve of Eid al-Adha, he brutally murdered a respected livestock trader, Al-Hajj Al-Sayyed, along with the trader’s wife and two sons. He had learned that Al-Sayyed had recently sold livestock and was keeping 17,000 Egyptian pounds at home. Motivated by greed, Al-Safi attacked the family to take the money. Investigators found a bloody shoeprint at the crime scene and uncovered evidence showing Al-Safi had secretly visited the house that night. This evidence led to his arrest, confession, and eventual execution — a shocking betrayal by someone the victims had trusted.
