Ramadan Abdel Rehim Mansour

Ramadan Abdel Rehim Mansour, also known as "al-Tourbini", was an Egyptian serial killer, rapist and pedophile who murdered at least 32 children in seven-year span. Mansour and six of his accomplices were arrested in 2006 and sentenced to death.

Background
Mansour was born in 1980's and left his home at young age. Soon after, he joined a street gang who taught his survival skills, allegedly cutting him with razors if he made any mistakes. At some point, he started raping several gang-members and murdered them if they threatened to go to police. One of these victims were 12-year-old Ahmed Nagui. When Mansour tried to rape him, Nagui reported to police, and Mansour was arrested. However, he was released due lack of evidence. Later Mansour raped and murdered Nagui.

Mansour and his gang targeted children in Cairo and Alexandria, but felt more comfortable in Alexandria. Mansour's gang raped and murdered several children and sometimes dumped their bodies into Nile.

Capture and death
In 2006 two gang members were arrested, which eventually lead to Mansour's arrest. He got a nickname "al-Tourbini" (express train) from his favorite locations of killings. Mansour claimed that he was possessed by a female jinn who commented him to murder. He and his accomplice Farag Samir Mahmoud were convicted and sentenced to death. Mansour was executed in 2010.

Modus Operandi
Mansour and his gang targeted street children (mostly boys) who were 10-14-year-old. They lured children onto the carriage roof of the trains where they stripped, raped and tortured them repeatedly. Then they shot and dumped their bodies into the Nile or buried them alive.
