Sisters Raya and Sakina ran a drug and prostitution ring (along with their spouses) in Alexandria. Being business women, they saw great financial opportunity in killing and robbing women.
Their victims were known to wear gold jewelry and carry large amounts of money. The sisters would lure the victim into a rented house where one of the husbands would suffocate them.
Afterward, the body was stripped of valuables and buried under the house. The disappearances didn't go unnoticed, and the investigations eventually led back to them.
Both couples received death sentences. Raya and Sakina were the first women to be executed in modern Egypt.
