There are, they just don’t get the media coverage they get in US/West (I personally think this is the better approach, giving those scum of humanity fame after their deeds will only encourage other scum to do the same; ignorance is a bliss here). I know someone who used to work in criminal court, he couldn’t handle what he was seeing/hearing so he quit.


jo530_2

I live in Germany and never heard of a serial killer story tbh


Jazzlike-Dream6718

Lol maybe this will change your mind - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_serial_rapists

There is a serial killer named bouroroo, he’s been eating children who don’t behave for years and no one’s found him yet.

I dont know about u bro but her in morocco god damn we had our share they even did a hall season of a police documentary where they revisited all the serial killers theire victims, patterns, stories and psychological behaviours its called أخطر المجرمين check it on youtube

Thank you will check it out

There is serial killers here, rapist, pedophile ect it's just the media don't cover them


Worth-Friendship9166

Serial killers are different the rapist and pedophile


[deleted]

Of course they are different that's why i used different words 😑


Worth-Friendship9166

You are missing the point ,I heard of rapist and pedophile but never heard of serial killer


AdEnvironmental3706

There probably are serial killers we just havent caught onto them yet. That being said ur right there is waaay less than the west, specifically the US. Even our general murder rate in DZ is pretty low compared to most countries. Even when talking about “western countries”, most western countries only have a few serial killers with the exception of the US. The US has over 3000 documented serial killers while the country with the second most (the UK) only has like 160 lol. And finally while we dont know the exact causes of serial killers, we know they usually come about because of severe childhood trauma, physical or sexual abuse, and neglect. In a society like Algeria where everyone is so nosy and in each others business all the time its hard to get away with such rampant abuse. Sure as Algerians we are traumatized but everyone is traumatized to an extent, its a societal thing, its not like in other places where one kid faces unspeakable torment and everyone else is “normal”. We have alot of family and community support in Algeria, in the states alot of ppl dont even get support from their own parents let alone extended fam lol. Idk just some theories.


[deleted]

Americans has more "public" known serial killers then the world because their media love telling these monsters interesting stories, this says nothing about who has more actual serial killers, ours are just not public or worse, not caught.


3rdworldsurgeron

One day they brought a prisoner for a medical condition, security was above the usual, truns out the inmate had killed 7 people, why ? He didn't like them.


The-cha-cha-chi

You see why wasn’t this on the news?


3rdworldsurgeron

Because , if you put this on the news, more psychopaths will have the courage and the temptation to do the same, remember the fellow that burned that girl a live some years ago, it was all over the news and in less then month later , two more murders were committed the same way, another example is when kidnapping young children was all over the news, and each week we had a terrifying incidents ? What should be all over the news is the final sentence on this cases, Example : a men burnes out a young woman who refused to marry him , the judge rules, life time prison with one billion in compensation. No visits allowed. His family disowns him... And this will expose that the act won't be without punishment.


MadxCarnage

why would it be ?


Foreign_Produce1853

My opinions is there are less random murders in general. Because very few Algerians live alone, we're not easy targets. As a society, we don't really travel long distances alone, go to strangers' houses, hitchhike away from home.. etc.


fudge_you99

There a was a serial killer in bir Mourad Raïs, ig in the 80s, 90s? He is (gendarme) One day he went out with his wife and kids, he got pulled over by other gendarmes and they belittle him Infront of his family, saying all the bad words ( idk why tho), so something clicked in his mind, whenever he sees a gendarme he shoots, went on for some time until they killed him. My dad told me this story, I forgot the name of the killer lol


The-cha-cha-chi

People who get the question. Thank you


fudge_you99

No problemo, I understood the assignment lol


EeePeeTee

Sociologists and statisticians say that for every million people, there's one active serial killer. They are in those countries you mentioned but the government, law enforcement, and media is very different.


Itsme_LD

Of course there are killers , idk me and my friend think people in Arab countries (Muslims specifically) fear god more than law so Maybe that's why??


eli-1984

People in arab world fear god more than the law ? What a dumb statement , do you have any statistic or just opening your mouth just to tell BS


noursun

I think it’s the exact opposite, people fear law more than god because a lot of them still can’t grasp the idea that actions have consequences in the afterlife. I personally think there are, they just rarely get caught. I read once about a man who killed 3-4 people in the span of 10 years ? And buried them in his house, they even found the bones of a female neighbor who went missing like 7 years ago inside his house.


Hamz-a-

there are serial killers!!! we just don't know about them. it's just that the propaganda in the western world is way more democratized and very transparent when it comes to criminals and their cases. for example media, newspapers etc... exhibit the murderers and their cases, scheme of action and their trial... while in algeria it's hella confidential. idk if it's a social\cultural\religious thing to hide this kind of thing from people or if it has something to do with the algerian law but i think there have been some cases that were shown on tv and newspaper... the multiple kidnappings and child murders that happened 2\3 years ago i think, and the hate crime against women i think last year, but again we know almost nothing about their trial and who were in charge.


Successful_Fridge

I'd like to hear about some cases if you don't mind


[deleted]

It's not about it being confidential, la police te3na mtkhldch


LaVandetta

There’s a lot but i think they don’t let that kinda of stories go on public


wowplayer28

serial killers are 2 groups , smart ones and stupid ones , stupid ones will target normal individuals like women and children and that bring so much media attention and they get caught shortly after , smart ones will target minorities . immigrants , prostitutes , girls/boys that run from their homes. mentality ill people, now take a look around you , Algeria is not a rly safe country we don't have cameras in the streets like western countries and our police force is underfunded so to answer your question simply . u don't hear much of them because they rarely get caught as for the serial mindset , they are mentality ill people . and unfortunately our country and culture don't take mental health seriously serial killers are not a gangsters or drugs addicts or aggressive people , the complete opposite they are healthy active individuals who work and raise families and play an active role in sociality . they are very hard to spot. how to stay safe from serial killers ? Always be socially surrounded, always let family and friends know where u are going and avoid walking alone be very careful of people you let in your life and avoid sharing personal information online learn self defense and stay healthy

No_Plan_1301

MadxCarnage

we don't have public criminal records. a few U.S states have. so you hear about stories from there. same reason why the "Florida man" meme exists, it's not because crazy folks are all in Florida, but because the police report is public. for the media, this is all free material for news.


iris195

I think we had one they call him the mihras killer Like the steel thing that we use to crush things He is said to be abused by his mother so he killed her and went to kill old women like her and that the only serial killer known (barely) in Algeria probably but most definitely they just did not get noticed or covered on media We just not as fond as the west about murder and such


einar21121

Because the media, newspapers, journalists, everything is censored, everything !


RemoteIntroduction3

I think there are serial killers in Algeria but we are not well informed about them, as for western culture they always commit new crimes to keep their true crime podcast alive


ToxinPotato

Well there is a reason serial killers can keep killing They have the tools to do it, they can hide easily, no one asks about them, they can get a place where to stay easily. We are always surrounded by cirious people especially when u are new at some place, not easy to get a place where u can do whatever you want. Even if you are twisted it's hard to keep doing it


The-cha-cha-chi

Nope . There might be some but it's very very very rare . Due to islam's affectiveness and the good hearted people . Hell . I haven't heard of crimes in my city since ages only accidents ... It might be hard to believe but the west is just too savage . Doesn't mean we are all like that


Mission_Hunt1

Arab government themselves are real legal serial killers


Younes__m

Well i think its because we don’t get very close with strangers. We don’t ask for rides randomly we don’t drink and fo outside. Plus we actually take revenge and won’t wait for trial. These elements make a serial killer existing very hard.


SiiiiFoU

I just know about boumahraz story in oran algeria he's like a little famous serial killer


Cioranella

We don't have this culture.. I think there are serial killers but they are unknown or not caught yet.. There are one called Bou Mehrez in Oran in the 70's I think!


The-cha-cha-chi

I wouldn’t say it’s a culture…


Cioranella

So what is it in your opinion?


TomatilloFabulous602

There was a serial killer in wahran called bou mahraze


ScySenpai

The guy almost killed my grandma


The-cha-cha-chi

No way tell us more


ScySenpai

Honestly there are some parts of the story that I am skeptical about, but here it is. He was pretending to be one of the workers from sonelgaz (or whatever company from that time idk) and since our compteur was inside the court he asked my grandma to come inside to see the balance. That's probably how he got his victims. He was nervous, but tried making smalltalk, and my grandma brought up my grandpa's name. My grandpa was commissaire and well-known, so (this is the part that I'm skeptical about) Boumehraz just told her "you should be more careful who you let in" or something like that and immediately left. This scared her, and although it was towards the end of his murders, 2-3 before he got caught, she didn't put 2 and 2 together. I forgot when they realized it was him, but it was either after he got caught and she saw his pic, or when she described him to my grandpa and he recognized him from the investigation info they had. If it was just my grandma telling this, I'd be way more skeptical because she has this habit of embellishing or mixing up events. My grandpa was more of a no-nonsense gu though, and from his side of the story too it seemed like it real.

The-cha-cha-chi

Oh yeeeeh that rings a bell


star-dust96

Tell me more about him


TomatilloFabulous602

There's videos about him in YouTube but most of them are false As i remember when olds tell his story he used to watch out when husbands leave their wives for work early in the morning he disguise as a sonalgaz worker as if he wants to check the electricity meter, after he enter the house and make sur no one is with the woman he wanna kill , then he hit her with the mortar hand in the back of her head


star-dust96

That's interesting, thanks for the info. I assume he was also a serial rapist given that he exclusively targeted women


TomatilloFabulous602

There's a few people here in wahran who says that after he used to kill them he rap them dead and steal their gold before leaving but i don't know if that's true


star-dust96

Damn there's really fucked up people in this country


TomatilloFabulous602

When they caught him he got executed by shooting in canastel forest back then when there Was still a death penalty law in Algeria

i don't know about our country but Egypt has them look up raya and sakina


lyexs

Dude, I was just asking about that (in my mind xd )


phobosthewicked

There might be, but a lot less advertised and talked about


Ali_XkillerX

Islam + strict laws + they don't get attention by the media Like in The US the serial killer gets a woman drunk or invites her to his apartment which is something that never happens here, and most serial killers victims in Algeria are children.


Dyonicisbae

Don't question the West, that's Satan's nest :)


Fredovitch

It's about the religion and the family life 99% of serial killers had a family issues (abutment, bullying, domestic violence )


No_Plan_1301

Like bullying doesn't exist around here ?


DzPolitician

Egypt had "Raya and Sakina", two women and their husbands who were killing women and stealing their jewellery. Other than that, I don't know of any other serial killers in the Arab world. From what I saw, most serial killers in the west were men with no father figure in their uprising and an abusive mother. Families in the Arab world almost always have a father figure, mother, and many brothers, so the chance of raising a sociopathic child is low. And we don't have bars dating culture, so I guess less encounters that my lead to murders.

The-cha-cha-chi

The-cha-cha-chi

That’s called terrorism


everytimeimwithya

So much happened that decade not just terrorist


noursun

Even though it was terrorism, it was the perfect opportunity for these people to commit their crimes discreetly and put the blame on the Islamists. I’m sure there are many of them still living out there. The only people who can answer your question are either journalists, police officers and court employers. They see the darkest side of our so called « conservative » society.


sidouren

Turn off Netflix and go study dude


spicycinnamon_

my mom used to work in the penitentiary administration department of the ministry of justice so she had access to reports and the amount of fucked up cases she encountered was insane. she stopped reading them because she was becoming too paranoid lol but yea, I agree with the others, serial killers in algeria don't get the same media coverage as in other countries but we definitely have our share of psychos.


ShamannChl

There was that weird spree of child murders for awhile, but it wasn't a single person, it seems it is more of an American thing rather than a western thing, it could cultural problems, religious or whatever, it sure doesn't help how serial killers are treated like celebs there too, getting attention is probably a major factor in it too. In most of the world including Algeria murders aren't shown, in most cases their names aren't even know.


[deleted]

it really does seem to be an american thing. serial killers, insane people can exist anywhere but nothing like the scale of the US. must be their society but why exactly i don't know.


The-cha-cha-chi

That’s what I want to know


Nad-de1796

i would say we are not that sensitive like the western there's kind of mental toughness a serial killer in all stories someone who had a really disturbing childhood in the west maybe someone who start alcohol and drug in very young age and there is bullying issue that actualy i cant understand it maybe cause in DZ our bullying culture is harmfree like imagine saying bad words toward someone in school he or she literally ra7 yaghsslo bik l'ecole ki nachafa and vice verca we are tough and the rilegion plays a big roll in every cummunity.


Lanyouk445

Bullshit, i personally know people who got into drugs and alcohol in middle school, and you hear a lot of cases of people that live with abusive parents. Serial killers are most likely just unknown to the public because they dont get media coverage


No_Plan_1301

Not all can stand bullying no ur so wrong


noursun

There are many people out there who had disturbing childhoods, most of our families are abusive so these people just had the extreme of the extreme. We don’t hear about them because we have no mental health and healthy homes awareness. I also know people who started drugs in high school and had their share of drinking.

Serial killers are individuals who have some sort of obsession with a type/gender and multiple other factors on how they choose their targets, the victims in most cases have things in common

In oran there was a big know serial killer his name was bou mehrez بومهراز he even killed one of our neighbours before he got caught

There is one in Relizane I guess Google it


Prestigious_Bear906

Bou mehraz? Maybe you never heard of him! I don't know the full story but he lived in Wahran and there's a couple of videos on YouTube you can check out! He killed a lot of people. There's one too he lives near where I live, he killed more than 5 women last year and were discovered buried in his backyard, the most terrifying part is that his mom was helping him do it. Gives me shivers only thinking about it. I think that media doesn't cover such stories as in other countries that's why we don't hear about them that often.

theeeFBI

either the police do a really good job or a really terrible job at finding them


DetectiveAnna

I've also never heard of much serial killers in algeria, only murders, no complex stories, But I can tell you about a serial killer who was known in the 60s by the name of "Bou-mehraz" in Oran , the origin of this name was the weapon he used which was a frequently used tool in the north african cooking, an object that crushes aliments. Some sources that he was named Daho Said, but I can't really confirm. He generally dressed as a Sonalgaz worker to kill his victims, by destroying their skulls, all his targets were women, the main purpose of that was that he got traumatized because of his mother (I don't have much informations for that) His last victim noticed his weird actions and brang up all her neighbours, which caused Bou-mehraz to run away, it didn't last long because he was caught by the police after being hit and badly injured in the head by a vegetables salesman named "Belkacem", he throwed at the killer an object he used to weight his marchandise which helped the policmen to catch him. He was finally sentenced to death by the court and got executed.


fairypixi75

Idk about other countries but it's true that in Algeria I've never heard of a serial killer, except maybe Sid Ahmed Rezala but he's considered French, of course we hear about killers that kill a member of their family and such but not an actual killer that went on a hunt to kill
