About Gaddafi Faraj

Born 1973. Gaddafi Faraj is an Egyptian serial killer and businessperson.

Gaddafi Farag Abdel Atti (; born October 20, 1971), known as Safah El Giza

Farag was well-regarded by friends and acquaintances, most of whom said that he was a man devoted to his religion and high morals. Despite this, he frequently married and then abandoned wives, never informing the next one of his previous marriages and affairs. Believing that he was trustworthy due to his personality and degree in law, Reda invested large sums of money in Farag's business, unaware that his friend was using it for his own gain. In April 2015, Reda returned from Saudi Arabia and demanded that his money be returned. Fearing that he could expose his criminal activities, Farag invited him to his house in Boulaq, where he drugged him with poisoned pasta and then crushed his skull with an iron bar. He then put the body in a cement bag and threw it into a two-meter deep hole he had dug out beforehand in a room in his house. In order to cover it up, he hired some workers to pour ceramics over the place, claiming that it was to repair some sewage pipes. Afterwards, Farag sent a message from his phone to the man's wife, claiming that the police had arrested him during a demonstration, but did not provide any details. In response, he lured her to the house and strangled her, then buried her body next to that of Reda. In order to cover his tracks, he told Nadine's family that she had run off with a Syrian film producer to France, where she supposedly wanted to work as a model.

While he was awaiting robbery charges, Reda's family kept searching for him, and thinking that Farag was their son, they sent a lawyer to talk with him. After realizing that he was an impersonator, they filed a missing persons report and an official investigation was launched into the matter. When confronted with this, Farag confessed to all of his crimes. He filed appeals against all of them, but thus far all of them have been rejected.

On January 11, 2024, Farag's death sentence for the murder of Yasmine Ibrahim was finalized after a court of appeals rejected his final appeal.
