The second story in the series “The Complete Story Drama” deals with what is known as the Beni Mazar crime, which shook Egyptian public opinion in 2005, in 3 episodes under the title “Untold about Beni Mazar,” which were made available for viewing on the MBC Shahid platform, Friday.

The crime occurred in the “Shams al-Din” estate, affiliated with the Beni Mazar center in Minya Governorate, northern Upper Egypt, where the people woke up at dawn on December 29, 2005, to “a heinous crime, after 10 victims from 3 different families were found inside 3 adjacent houses, and slaughtered pigeons were found next to the bodies,” according to the Egyptian government website “Al-Ahram Gate.”

The three episodes seek to retell the events of the crime from a dramatic point of view, in what appears to be an attempt to explore its mystery nearly 21 years after it occurred, without the investigations reaching decisive conclusions about the identity of the real perpetrators.

According to the official synopsis of the Untold Trilogy of Beni Mazar, it is “impossible” that “the massacre was the work of only one hand,” and “the deeper (Akram) investigated, the more the truth became separated between madness and black magic and went buried. So who is the killer... or what is he?”

The trilogy is written by Hani Sarhan, directed by Ahmed Nader Galal, and starring: Ahmed Abdel Wahab, Murad Makram, Michel Milad Bishai, Ahmed Abdel Hamid, Safaa Al-Toukhi, and Arefa Abdel Rasoul.

It is among the stories of the series “The Complete Story.. Drama”, which is inspired by true crimes. Its story was previously narrated by content creator Sameh Sanad in his program “The Complete Story”. The series is produced by Magdy Al-Hawari, and is shown on the MBC Shahid platform.
