Binding Magic and Brutal Murder: The Cairo Businessman Who Killed to Break a Curse
Muhammad Abdullah was once a thriving young businessman, but after a long courtship with Nehad he became convinced her family was using sorcery to control and ruin him. He broke off the relationship, then returned to it, feeling ever more manipulated and blaming Nehad’s mother, who was rumored to practise black magic and whose own mother had been killed years earlier over similar suspicions. Convinced that only blood could break the spell, Muhammad stormed their home in Bein El Sarayat in 2008 and stabbed Nehad, her mother and her sister to death. He was arrested, sentenced to death and went to the gallows without remorse — a grim case of superstition and obsession turning into mass murder.Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
