3. Raya & Sakina
This tale takes place in Egypt, a nation riddled with violence and war since ancient times, so it’s not strange that the facts in this story aren’t entirely clear. It all happened around the time the country was fighting the British for their independence, so hell was raining upon the slummier neighborhoods. However, this particular area was located nearby an English army camp, so while the husbands fought in war, the wives dedicated their time to set up brothels. It was here that the sisters saw an opportunity.
Nonetheless, the money they made from the five establishments they owned was not enough to satisfy their greed, and soon women around the vicinity began to disappear. Altogether, seventeen women went missing that winter, and skepticism arose. The witnesses claimed to have seen the missing women recently wearing gold and carrying with them a lot of money, many times escorted by Sakina. Nevertheless, hearsay was not enough to make the case, and the police didn’t find sufficient evidence to arrest them.
Summer was coming to an end when a man who was attempting to fix a broken pipe in the floor of a house found the murdered women’s remains. It was soon discovered that the sisters who rank third in our list of the 9 most evil female serial killers of all time, had been renting the place at the time of the murders, as a result of which they were convicted, and became the first women to be sentenced to death in modern Egypt.
