Homicide investigators arrest Nevine Loutfy’s alleged killer less than 24 hours after murder
Homicide investigators have arrested a suspect in high-profile banker Nevine Loutfy’s murder less than 24 hours after she was found dead in her home in a 6 October City Compound on Monday, Al Borsa reported. Investigators allege that Karim Abdel Atty, said to be a convicted felon and former member of the compound’s security team, confessed to the crime upon questioning, admitting he had disabled security cameras before breaking into the ADIB Egypt CEO’s house in a burglary bid. Investigators claim they retrieved stolen effects after locating Abdel Atty at a rehabilitation facility into which he had checked himself into after the case received widespread media attention. An iPad and USD 600 in cash are among the items investigators said were stolen. Abdel Atty is also alleged to have used Loutfy’s Mercedes as his getaway car, which was found abandoned hours after the incident.
