A shocking case in Egypt has revealed a father's worst nightmare. A 76-year-old man, whose name has not been released, recently discovered that his son was behind his wife's disappearance and subsequent murder. According to reports, the son, whose name also has not been disclosed, had been in a dispute with his mother over a piece of agricultural land. The father stated that his son had given him and his family a sedative, which led to him discovering his wife's lifeless body.
The victim, a woman from Shams El-Din, a village in the Beni Mazar region of Minya, had gone missing, prompting a search by her family and the police. Her son had informed the family that she had gone to visit his brother, who is currently imprisoned in Asyut. However, investigations by the police revealed that the son had strangled his mother and buried her in a plot of land owned by the family. The suspect had attempted to mislead the authorities by searching for his mother along with his uncle and other family members.
The victim's brother, Ahmed Abdel Moneim Abdel Kader, 39, stated that he had learned of his sister's disappearance through a Facebook post. When he visited his sister's home, he met his nephew, who claimed to be unaware of his mother's whereabouts. The brother added that his nephew told him that his mother had gone to visit his brother in prison and had not returned home.

When he woke up, he found his wife missing and assumed she had gone to visit their imprisoned son. However, the police investigation revealed that the son had murdered his mother and buried her in a plot of land.
