true crime has become incredibly popular
over the last couple of years
apps like tick tock have propelled true
crime cases to the forefront of
conversations
and brought awareness to cold cases that
are desperate for answers
but sometimes there are obscure cases
that slip through the cracks
number five
jurors at the sheffield crown court have
been engaged in the bizarre eight-week
trial of dr hossam matwali
the details of which are almost
unbelievable and certainly makes it one
of the most obscure and scariest true
crime stories to come out of 2021
even the judge jeremy richardson qc
said quote i've never been involved in a
more bizarre case in my 41 year legal
career
and this case has left me mystified
dr hossam matwali was found guilty just
days ago on monday the 20th of september
and details of his crimes will leave
your skin crawling
in 2014
27 year old kelly wilson was in the
final year of her nursing degree
and was working at the diana princess of
wales hospital in grimsby when she
wasn't studying little did kelly know
that her dream profession would lead her
into the arms of evil
during her studies kelly was suffering
from back pain and visited 61 year old
dr hossam matwali an anesthetist and
chronic pain specialist also based at
the diana princess of wales hospital
after his initial consultation
kelly began working for dr matwali in
his private pain clinic
based out of his home in grimsby
the pair got on well together and as the
months passed they found it harder and
harder to deny their attraction to each
other
within months kelly had moved into dr
matwali's home
and the two officially became a couple
dr matwali even had a religious blessing
ceremony performed to usher in a new
chapter of their lives
within a year the relationship had
evolved into something entirely
different
dr mitwali began performing rituals on
kelly
telling her that her pain was being
caused by gins that inhabited her body
jinns are supernatural creatures from
islamic mythology
and the islamic faith believes that
zhens are shape-shifting evil spirits
that live amongst humans
dr matwali began performing different
variations of these rituals on kelly
and as time went on they became more and
more twisted between 2015 and 2019
dr matwali performed
276 rituals on kelly hoping that he
would finally banish the evil zhen that
it inhabited her body
prayers and chantings weren't enough for
dr matwali who claimed that kelly had
turned violent after hearing the call to
prayer at the start of the ceremony
in order to perform a ritual
successfully dr matwali began
restraining kelly to the bed he would
then pump her full of painkillers and
sedatives to render her unconscious
before the ritual could be performed
disturbingly some of these rituals were
filmed by dr mitwali and in the videos
kelly can be seen in a catatonic state
before she is revived with smelling
salts
in one video filmed in 2016
kelly is brought back to consciousness
by smelling salts before shouting at dr
mitwali saying you've drugged me and
assaulted me i want to phone the police
this request was denied and for three
more years kelly would be subjected to
the horrific rituals and be placed into
a comatose state by the man she called
her partner
it wasn't until 2019 that kelly was
finally saved from the house of horrors
after dr matwali sent a text to her
father saint kelly was quote in a
comatose state and wouldn't wake up
her father immediately called police and
noted that dr matwali seemed to be in no
rush to seek medical attention for her
when paramedics arrived at the scene
they found kelly an organ failure with
discolored skin and a strange fluid
flowing into her shoulder through a type
of catheter it wasn't until she was
transferred to the hospital the doctors
realized the full extent of her injuries
and the organ damage kelly had been
administered to several medicines such
as propofol and fentanyl
thankfully doctors are able to save
kelly's life and she would later file a
report against dr matwali
on september 20th 2021
dr matwali was found guilty on eight
charges including one charge of
administering a noxious substance
dr mitwali is due to be sentenced at the
sheffield crown court in the coming
weeks with judge jeremy richardson qc
saying quote you're a disgrace who
perverted medical practices for your own
ends
you're also not a very good doctor
because in these perverted practices you
very nearly killed the woman you said
you loved
number four
shiva with sasuke was just a young woman
when her roommate angela samoda was
killed in the apartment that they shared
in dallas
26 years later her tenacity and hard
work led to the capture and sentencing
of the man responsible
this is definitely one of the craziest
true crime stories you've never heard of
and if it weren't for sheila angela's
case may still be unsolved to this day
angela marie samoda was a computer
science and electrical engineer student
at the southern methodist university in
dallas texas where she was also a part
of a sorority and was well liked by
everyone she met
on october 12 1984
sheila along with her friends russell
buchanan and anita kadala
attended the state fair before ending
off the night at a few clubs
angela's boyfriend ben mccall was also
invited over however he declined saying
he had to be up early for work the next
morning
she didn't let this bother her and by
all accounts the trio had a great night
with kadala and buchanan saying that she
was going around the room of the club
talking to everyone and having a good
time
at around midnight the party started
slowing down and the three decided that
it was time to return home
angela first dropped off buchanan at his
apartment at around 1am before dropping
off kadala at her dormitory
the two commented that nothing seemed
out of the ordinary and they both said
their goodbyes thinking that they would
see her in the morning
before driving back to her own apartment
angela swung by her boyfriend's
apartment to say goodnight and steal a
few precious moments with him
at around 1 45 am ben mccall angela's
boyfriend received a disturbing phone
call
on the other end of the phone was angela
and she sounded worried she told him
that an unknown man was in her apartment
and was asking to use the phone in the
bathroom
before she could give him any more
information she said she would call him
right back and hung up
ben waited and waited and as the minutes
ticked by he still hadn't received a
call back
panicked he drove to angela's apartment
but found that it was locked and angela
wasn't responding fearing the worst ben
called police and by 2 17 am police had
arrived at the scene
when police broke down the door to
angela's apartment they found her body
lying on her bed
and it was determined that her death had
been caused by numerous stab wounds to
the chest
angela's friends and family were
heartbroken at the news and rallied
together to find the person responsible
police quickly began pointing fingers at
her boyfriend ben mccall
the male friend she was last seen with
and an ex-boyfriend who lived in abilene
texas
analysis of blood found at the scene
quickly ruled them out
however police were still convinced that
they were somehow involved
though without further evidence they
were unable to charge anyone in
connection
years passed and angela's case quickly
became cold
but her roommate and friend sheila was
sasuke never forgot about angela and
never gave up hope that one day her case
would be solved
in 2004 shiva began obtaining her
private investigation license and used
her knowledge to try and get the police
to reopen her friend's case
between 2004 and 2006
sheila contacted the dallas police
department over 750 times in an attempt
to get angela's case reopened
she told the bbc quote i just kept
badgering them until the case was
reopened they were so sick and tired of
me that they assigned a detective to
reopen the case
finally in 2006 dallas police assigned
detective linda crum to angela's case
and sheila was elated at the news
detective krom used dna extracted from
the blood found at the crime scene along
with other pieces of physical evidence
to catch the man responsible
two years later detective crum finally
had a match
donald bass an arkansas man who was on
parole at the time of angela's homicide
in 1985 bess had been sentenced to life
in prison for aggravated assault and
kidnapping
and had been imprisoned ever since
bess was taken to trial once again this
time for the crimes against angela
samoda
and in 2010 he was found guilty and
given capital punishment
bess has tried to appeal this sentence
however the us supreme court has upheld
his ruling
bess is still on the polanski death row
awaiting an execution date

number two
in 2000 gary allen stood before a jury
accused of the murder of samantha class
in 1997.
for weeks the court listened as the
prosecution presented evidence against
alan
however they were unable to make the
charges stick
due to a lack of evidence alan was
acquitted and released from police
custody and became a free man
little did the public know that alan
wasn't the quiet and innocent man he
portrayed himself as in the courtroom
eighteen years after he was acquitted of
samantha class's murder in hall
yorkshire
allen committed a similar crime against
elena grakova in rotherham in 2018.
thanks to dna evidence allen was quickly
apprehended for the crime against
grakova
and it was found that allen's dna
matched dna found on samantha's body in
1998
as the dna evidence had not been
presented in the previous trial hull
police were able to charge allen again
in hull's first double jeopardy case
the uk court of appeals looked over the
new evidence in 2019
and overturned the 2000 acquittal
meaning that alan would now be charged
in the case of samantha class and elena
gracova
this was a groundbreaking story in the
uk
as the double jeopardy laws had recently
been changed which led to a conviction
in the infamous babes in the woods case
due to the current global situation the
court proceedings were hindered however
in june of 2021
gary allen finally appeared at the
sheffield crown court accused of the
murder of samantha class and elena
grakova
during the new trial the prosecution
played a chilling recording of alan
confessing to an undercover officer back
in 2012.
in the recording alan can be heard
nonchalantly discussing how he paid for
samantha's services before assaulting
her and disposing of her body in the
hummer river
on june 23 2021
gary allen was sentenced to serve at
least 37 years in prison before he can
be considered for parole
samantha and elena's families are
overjoyed that justice has been served
number one
on july 30th 2021
70 year old lynn gay keane was reported
missing by her family who told
investigators that they had last heard
from her in mid-june of that year
according to her family her last known
whereabouts were at her home in linville
falls north carolina where they were
concerned for her well-being as at the
time she had a live-in caretaker who had
also failed to make contact with them
the report was taken seriously and
police began their search for the
missing 70 year old woman
they appealed to the public for any
information about lynn's whereabouts
and stressed the fact that she was a
vulnerable adult who needed additional
support in her day-to-day life upon
arriving at lynn's house investigators
noticed that her car was missing and
that the house was eerily quiet
days later lin's 2000 lincoln town car
was found abandoned miles away from her
home with the keys neatly tucked under
the driver's seat
this wasn't all that was found in lin's
car
in the trunk were two empty bags of
concrete leaving investigators with a
sinking feeling in their stomach
after discovering the abandoned car they
searched lin's home once again
and found a mass of hardened concrete in
the basement that appeared to be very
much out of place
after breaking through the concrete they
found the remains of lin keane
due to the state of her remains she had
to be identified via dental records
lin's death was classified as a homicide
but investigators are keeping
tight-lipped about the exact
circumstances
what we do know is that her live-in
housekeeper 53-year-old elizabeth
cassarino
is being held on a 1.6 million dollar
bond by the avery county sheriff's
department
following her arrest elizabeth has been
