Robbery Gone Wrong? This Egyptian Entrepeneur’s Death Is Sparking Widespread Concern
Amr Bassiouny, the founder of Egyptian Hydrofarms, was tragically found deceased with multiple stab wounds at his residence in Sheikh Zayed, according to a statement from the Ministry of Interior.
The Giza Security Directorate, in collaboration with the Public Security Sector, has arrested two suspects linked to the murder.
Bassiouny, known for pioneering hydroponic farming in Egypt, had recently returned home on vacation after working abroad. His body was discovered with several injuries, including stab wounds, at his residence where he lived alone during his stay in Egypt.
The suspects, both students living in the same building, confessed to planning a robbery knowing Bassiouny was alone. They accessed his apartment by jumping onto his balcony from the roof.
They fatally stabbed him using a knife and a dagger, and also stole various items including his mobile phone and car, which they later disposed of. One suspect was found with the stolen phone, and the car was recovered from a nearby commercial center’s parking lot, as reported by the Ministry of Interior.
Family and friends have praised the swift action of the police in apprehending the suspects. Amr Bassiouny’s brother, Hany, paid tribute to him as a kind and courageous individual, while requesting privacy during this challenging period.
