On October 22, 2025, Zizi (Jehan Mohamed Ibrahim) was poisoned and died in a Cairo hospital. Her husband, Ahmed (known as 'the doctor'), disappeared after her death. Two days later, two of their children were found poisoned in Giza's Libini area; one died immediately, the other died en route to hospital. The youngest child was later found drowned. Ahmed was arrested and confessed to poisoning Zizi and their three children to prevent them from testifying against him. The case involves marital conflict, financial strain, and manipulation by Ahmed, who had promised marriage and support to Zizi during her separation from her husband Hamada. The investigation revealed forged identities and a complex sequence of events leading to the deaths.

Domestic Violence
The case involves a marital relationship marked by financial strain, domestic conflict, and separation. Ahmed exploited Zizi's vulnerable state during separation, manipulating her with promises of marriage and support. The escalation led to poisoning and murder of Zizi and her children, reflecting a pattern of domestic violence and lethal control.
Security forces used surveillance footage to identify suspects and reconstruct events. Ahmed was arrested within 24 hours of the children's discovery. The investigation revealed forged identities and a complex poisoning scheme. The case is before the court with ongoing legal proceedings.
Initial confusion about the identities of the victims and suspect due to forged documents and disappearance. Uncertainty about the youngest child's whereabouts until body recovery. Some statements by Ahmed were not fully truthful, complicating the investigation.
Zizi and her children disappeared after a marital fight. Ahmed, posing as a supportive figure, manipulated Zizi during separation. He poisoned Zizi on October 22 and abandoned her at the hospital with false information. The next day, he poisoned the children and disposed of the youngest by drowning. Surveillance footage and witness identification led to Ahmed's arrest and confession.
High risk due to escalating domestic conflict, financial pressure, separation, and manipulative third-party involvement leading to fatal outcomes.
Early signs of domestic conflict, financial strain, and manipulative third-party involvement can escalate to lethal violence. Forged identities and disappearance complicate investigations. Surveillance and community cooperation are critical for solving such cases.
Marital fights, financial disputes, Zizi's separation and seeking help from Ahmed, and Ahmed's rapid involvement in Zizi's life.
Surveillance footage showing the suspect with the children, witness identification of Ahmed, and missing persons report filed by Hamada.
Video surveillance, forensic toxicology confirming poisoning, missing persons reports, and suspect's confession.
Residents reported finding poisoned children; a woman recognized Ahmed from the neighborhood; hospital staff noted the victim's suspicious condition and disappearance of the husband.
Initial suspicion on Zizi shifted after Ahmed's confession. Discovery of the youngest child's body clarified the extent of the crime.
Exact motives behind Ahmed's escalation and full details of his manipulative tactics remain partially unclear.
