October 20, 1973 - Gaddafi Faraj

Operating under a nickname that reflects the local notoriety he achieved, this Egyptian serial killer used lethal violence not as an end in itself but as a tool to suppress evidence of financial crimes — a pattern that unfolded across two cities over roughly two years. The four killings attributed to him represent a calculated effort to protect fraudulent schemes at the cost of human lives, a motive that distinguishes his case from more impulsive criminal violence. He currently awaits the outcome of appeals against four death sentences handed down by Egyptian courts.

From Wikipedia

Gaddafi Farag Abdel Atti (Arabic: قذافي فراج عبد العاطي; born October 20, 1971), known as Safah El Giza (The Giza Butcher), is an Egyptian serial killer and fraudster who murdered four people from 2015 to 2017 in Giza and Alexandria out of an attempt to cover up his fraudulent activities. Convicted for the killings and related charges, he was given four death sentences for each, which he is currently appealing.
