Here’s the English translation of the provided Arabic text:
The story of Reya and Sakina didn’t end with their execution in 1921. Instead, a more mysterious narrative unfolded afterward in the old alleys of the El-Labban district, its protagonists being the family members who spent years trying to escape a shameful past that forever clung to their name.
After the curtain fell on one of Egypt’s most heinous crimes, most of the sisters’ relatives vanished in a manner that sparked debate and questions for decades. Some spoke of them fleeing to distant governorates, while others asserted they completely changed their names to conceal their connection to the “Alexandria female serial killers.”
## Badia: A Young Witness to the Crime
The story began with Badia, Reya’s only daughter, who was the first to pay the price for that terrifying reputation. The young child, who found herself entangled in investigations and trials, later became a key witness in the case that concluded with her mother’s execution.
According to circulating historical accounts, Badia spent her final years in the Abbassia orphanage in Alexandria, far removed from any normal life, before passing away in complete silence, as if she took the family’s last secrets with her.
## Reya’s Son Who Passed Away Early
Other accounts suggest that Reya had a son named Mohammed from her first husband, but he died at a young age before the notorious crimes took place. Some believe his early demise spared him the harsh fate experienced by the rest of the family after the two female serial killers’ crimes were uncovered.
## Sakina: A Life Shrouded in Mystery
Sakina’s private life remained shrouded in secrets. Some accounts confirm that she never had children who lived for long periods, having lost more than one child during pregnancy or shortly after birth.
Over time, these events became part of the popular legends associated with the El-Labban district, especially with the prevalence of talk about a “curse” that pursued the entire family.
## Aboul Ela: The Escape to the Unknown
However, the most mysterious figure was their brother, Aboul Ela, who was said to have fled Alexandria for Upper Egypt immediately after the crimes came to light, attempting to start a new life far from the scandal that plagued the family.
Circulating accounts also mention that several of Reya and Sakina’s relatives completely vanished from official records, after choosing to change their identities and live without any connection to their past.
## A Legend That Lives On
Despite more than a century having passed since the Reya and Sakina case, the story remains one of the most terrifying and intriguing tales in the history of Egyptian crime. Its impact didn’t stop with the victims or the accused alone; it extended to haunt an entire family who preferred vanishing to confronting society and history.
