خيانة زوجية تنتهي بجريمة صادمة تهزّ ليبيا !! 😱 | القصة الكاملة
Jealousy
The case involves a divorced woman consumed by jealousy and bitterness after her ex-husband remarried and started a new family. Her affair with a criminal lover led to exploitation and eventual collaboration in a crime to emotionally harm her ex-husband by abducting and murdering his daughter. The pattern reflects jealousy-driven domestic violence escalating to murder.
Sarah and her lover confessed to the crime. Both were sentenced to death but had not been executed by 2020. They escaped prison during a mass breakout, and their current status is unknown. DNA testing confirmed the victim's identity. Authorities conducted searches and investigations following the disappearance.
Initial confusion about the victim's identity due to body disfigurement delayed confirmation. The suspect's refusal to cooperate initially complicated the investigation.
Sarah divorced her husband after an affair with a criminal lover. Years later, she was brought back near her children. Consumed by jealousy, she conspired with her ex-lover to abduct Retaj from school. The lover raped and murdered Retaj, disposed of the body, and Sarah attempted to burn it. They were caught after witnesses noticed suspicious behavior. DNA testing confirmed the victim. Both suspects confessed and were sentenced.
High risk due to history of infidelity, domestic conflict, and escalation to violent crime involving children.
Jealousy and bitterness post-divorce can escalate to severe violence. The involvement of a criminal lover increased risk. Close monitoring of custody and visitation arrangements is critical. Community vigilance helped uncover the crime.
Sarah's bitterness and obsession with her ex-husband's new family, her affair with a criminal, and her insistence on living near her children were early signals.
Sarah's unusual request to take Retaj to school and back, her relationship with a known criminal, and the disappearance timing were key clues.
DNA testing confirmed the victim's identity. Confessions from Sarah and her lover were critical evidence. Witness observations interrupted the burning attempt.
Witnesses at the event hall saw Sarah and her lover inside the abandoned bus and reported suspicious behavior, leading to police intervention.
Follow-up reports confirmed the suspects' confessions and sentencing. Later prison escape added uncertainty about their current status.
Current whereabouts of Sarah and her lover after prison escape remain unknown.
