The Tenderness Trap: Murder, Alibis, and the Pathological Need to Avoid Divorce

Anhar’s life was marked by a desire to please others and a pattern of infidelity, often with younger men. She married Mohamed in 2009, engaging in casual affairs over the years until 2017, when she met Ramy, a relationship that became deeply emotional for her. Unable to divorce Mohamed, Anhar conspired with Ramy to murder him, planning to make it appear as a robbery. She provided Ramy with an apartment key and helped him establish an alibi by attending a wedding. The plot culminated in tragedy: Ramy stabbed and killed Mohamed, then fatally jumped from a fourth-floor balcony while attempting to flee. Police later traced the crime back to Anhar through phone records and a key neighbor’s testimony, resulting in her arrest and death sentence.
