Who is Raya?

Raya and Sakina, Egypt's most infamous serial killers, began killing women in the Labban neighborhood of Alexandria in the early days of the 20th century. The police were plagued by increasing reports of missing women. Common details in the reports included the missing person's sex, the missing women were known to be wearing gold jewelry, and were known to be carrying a large amount of money. Another common detail was the report that many of the missing women were last seen with a woman called Sakina. Sakina was questioned several times because of the reports, but she managed to dodge any suspicions about her involvement.

On the morning of December 11, 1920 a passerby discovered human remains on the side of the road; the body was damaged beyond recognition and was completely dismembered. There was also a piece of black cloth and a striped black-and-white pair of socks near the body, however, these items did not help with the identification of the remains. In an unrelated incident, at about the same time in December, a nearsighted man reported finding human remains beneath his floor while digging to fix a water pipe.
