“Al -Tourbini” The Express Train Serial Killer
With a choice of being a victim or the victimizer, a young boy chooses to become a monster
If there was one serial killer who deserved to be sentenced to death it was Ramadan Abdel Rehim Mansour.
Like all babies, he was born innocent, but that innocence was squeezed out of him at an early age and replaced by a malicious evil that enabled him, on the mean streets of Cairo in the 1990s, to become the brutal leader of a street gang while still in his teens.
Born in the small village of Tanta just north of Cairo, Egypt, from the age of 12 he worked in a small cafeteria at the local train station to help support his family, returning at the end of the day to give his paltry earnings to his parents.
Some days his earnings were even less than paltry, or totally non-existent, replaced by bruises and scars delivered by a local thug called “Al-Tourbini”, The Express Train.
The young Mansour endured the regular beatings and the loss of his hard-earned wages at the fists of his tormentor for as long as he could, powerless as he was, too small to fight back, too poor to leave the job.
