Khaberni - The Minya Criminal Court in Southern Egypt issued a ruling today, Saturday, sentencing the woman who killed her husband and six children to death by hanging, in a crime that shook the country.
In its session on October 11, the Minya Criminal Court decided to refer the case of the accused "Hagar A. A." to the Grand Mufti of the Republic for his opinion on her execution. The court designated today, November 8, for delivering the report and announcing the verdict, detaining her until this date.
The first division revisited the case number 13282 for the year 2025, felonies of Deir Mawas, registered under number 2579 for the year 2025, general south of Minya, involving the accused "Hajar A. A. M," 26 years old,
The currently detained accused faces charges of premeditated murder using the poisonous substance chlorfenapyr, and the attempted murder of the first victim's wife, deliberately with premeditation, using the same poisonous substance.
The case of Hajar Ahmed Abdel Karim Mohamed, known as "Ne'ma," a 26-year-old housewife from Dalga village in Deir Mawas, Minya province, is one of the most horrific family crimes that shocked Egyptian public opinion in 2025.
The crime occurred in July where "Ne'ma" – the second wife of the victim – was accused of killing her husband, Mohamed Ahmed Abdel Fattah, 40 years old, and his six children from his first marriage, aged between 3 and approximately 12 years, in addition to attempting to murder the first wife, "Umm Hashem Ahmed Abdel Fattah," and her young daughter by poisoning the bread served to them.
The crime unfolded gradually, where "Ne'ma" confessed to the public prosecution that she had acquired a recent and dangerous agricultural insecticide called "chlorfenapyr," an uncommonly used poisonous substance that causes rapid respiratory and renal failure, sold in local markets without strict oversight.
According to her confessions published in the prosecution investigations, she began by poisoning the victim's eldest child, "Mohamed," three days before the major crime, then expanded her target to include the rest of the children and the husband by mixing the pesticide in their daily bread and food. The victims died sequentially in "silent death" over weeks, raising suspicions among neighbors and relatives who noticed odd symptoms like severe fatigue and vomiting.
