He had a lot of women’s relationships and frequented pubs and bars. He had a relationship with the wife of one of his neighbors, who was traveling to work in Alexandria and returning on Thursdays and Fridays, and Fahmy used to hesitate On this neighbor’s wife during her husband’s absence at work.
On one occasion, his neighbor’s wife offered him to kill the husband in order to clear the atmosphere for them, but Fahmy refused to match her demand, so the neighbor established a relationship with a mechanic and his workshop under her house and offered him the idea of getting rid of the husband, so he agreed and arranged a plan for her to invite Fahmy to spend a night with her.
The mechanic will call the husband to tell him that his wife is cheating on him to come from Alexandria, and the wife will leave the door of the house open for him, and following the husband climbs up and finds Fahmy with his wife, they will clash with each other, and he recommends that the wife make Fahmy drink as much alcohol as possible.

The police came to arrest Fahmy, who was unable to prove his innocence, and who confirmed that he saw a ghost killing the husband and might not identify his features because of his drunkenness.
His father, Mansi Fahmy, who was still a judge at the time, insisted that he be the judge in this case. Indeed, he sentenced his son to death by hanging despite his knowledge and certainty that his son was not killed, but his justification was that his son’s poor morals was what led him to what was in it.
