Desperate Father Pawns Son for Drugs, Resulting in Tragic Death at Hands of Dealer

In a tragic and disturbing turn of events, a five-year-old boy from Egypt's Giza province lost his life in a horrific incident that has sent shockwaves through the Kerdasa district.

The incident came to light when residents reported a foul odour emanating from a side street. Upon inspection, authorities discovered the decomposed body of a small boy, stuffed inside a bag and abandoned by the roadside.

The child's death was a result of being struck on the head by a drug dealer, who was attempting to silence the child's cries. The dealer, along with an accomplice, had attempted to cover up the crime by wrapping the child's body and dumping it in the street.

The dealer, who remains unnamed, is suspected of being involved in the child's murder. Police investigations revealed that the father, also a drug addict, had left his son in the dealer's custody in exchange for a dose of crystal meth, locally known as "ice".

The father, who had been unable to pay for drugs, had left his son with the dealer as a guarantee. It was later revealed during questioning that the boy had been born out of an unregistered customary marriage and never had a birth certificate.

The father's addiction to methamphetamine, locally known as "ice", was also revealed during police investigations.

The event has caused widespread fear among the residents of Kerdasa district, with many expressing their grief and outrage at the senseless loss of an innocent life. The discovery shocked the neighbourhood, sparking widespread fear and concern.

In a heart-wrenching turn, the father confessed to his role in the tragedy, admitting that he had given his son as collateral for the drugs.

Both the dealer and the accomplice were arrested shortly after the discovery, and the case continues to be under investigation. The authorities are working tirelessly to ensure justice is served for the young victim and his family.

This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of drug addiction and the importance of upholding the sanctity of every human life, especially that of our children.
