Khaberni - The province of Ismailia witnessed a horrifying incident that shocked public opinion, after a 13-year-old boy murdered his 14-year-old friend inside an apartment in the new station area, before cutting his body into pieces using an electric saw, drawing inspiration for his deed from a famous American TV series.
The Beginning of the Story
Investigations revealed that the accused child "Yousef" and his friend "Mohamed" had a strong friendship, meeting daily at a video game arcade near their homes. One day, a minor dispute arose between them during a game inside the arcade, which ended with the owner intervening to settle the dispute, but the argument left a psychological impact on the young accused.
The Murder Plan and Victim Luring
A few days after the altercation, "Yousef" lured his friend to his apartment in the new station district, under the pretext of playing and watching new games. As soon as they entered, a new fight broke out between them, quickly escalating into a violent altercation. During the fight, the accused used a wooden hammer and struck his friend several times on the head, resulting in his immediate death.
Details of the Horrific Crime
The accused's confessions revealed that he panicked after his friend's death, attempting to hide the crime. He used an electric saw belonging to his father, a carpenter, and began cutting the body into six parts, placing them in black bags. He then disposed of them in various areas near Carrefour Lake and a derelict building in the same region, in an attempt to eliminate the evidence.
The Crime Discovery
After a report was filed by the victim's family about his disappearance, security forces formed an extensive search team, and surveillance cameras revealed that the last person seen with the victim was his friend "Yousef". Upon raiding his home, blood traces and a stained sheet were found, along with a hat belonging to the victim.
During the investigations, the accused broke down and confessed to the details of the crime, indicating that he drew the idea of cutting and hiding the body from an American TV series about a serial killer, believed to be the series “Dexter”, which features a professional killer disposing of his victims' bodies in similar ways.
The Investigation and Psychological Examination
The Public Prosecutor ordered a psychological evaluation of the accused, revealing that he suffers from behavioral and psychological disorders due to a broken family environment, lack of parental supervision, and the influence of foreign violent content he frequently watched.
Meanwhile, the prosecution continues its investigations to uncover the circumstances of the incident and determine legal responsibilities, in a case that has sparked wide debate about the impact of visual violence and parental neglect on the behaviors of children and adolescents.
