The Italian police are looking for the head of the young Egyptian Mahmud Abadlá, an 18-year-old hairdresser who was murdered in Genoa (northwestern Italy) by two compatriots because he wanted to change jobs and feared that the clients of his business would leave with him.
The Carabineros of the Submarine Nucleus of the Genoa Command work in the area of the Chiavari cliffs, where the hands of Abdalá, murdered in the early hours of Monday morning, have already been located, thanks to the indications of one of the two detainees, they reveal this Wednesday the local media.
After committing the crime in the defendants' apartment, the corpse was mutilated and thrown into the sea according to the confession of Mohamed Ali Abdelghani, brother of the owner of the hairdressing salon where he worked, who is “shocked” and “wants to collaborate” with the justice, according to what his lawyer declared after visiting him in prison.
The two brothers, aged 26 and 27, accused of aggravated voluntary manslaughter for futile motives and destruction of the body, are “highly dangerous” and can destroy evidence, according to the prosecutor in the case.
Both were arrested thanks to the crossing of telephone data with the analysis of surveillance camera images, which showed them carrying the suitcase in which they supposedly placed the body after the murder.
Abdalá, according to the police reconstruction, wanted to change jobs, since his bosses paid him little and in black, so he went to another hairdresser in Genoa, whose owner posted some videos on Instagram in which the boy was seen during a test and in which his talent could be appreciated.
The man explained that on Sunday, when Abdalá had already left, the two detainees entered his store and expressed their opposition to letting the young man go, because he would have made them lose customers, and later said that he received a threatening call warning him not to I would hire him.
The crime has shocked the local Muslim community: “We pray for Mahmud, a collective prayer with some of his friends who are all very sad and angry. Our law prohibits disfiguring a deceased, it is an offense to him and his relatives. What happened is terrible, and also for something so trivial,” Imam Hussein Salah said, according to the media.
The imam explained that the brother of the deceased, who works in Milan (northern Italy), gave the news to his mother in Egypt, and that they are now waiting to celebrate a funeral: “When possible we will bury him. And the head must be buried with him,” he said.
