00:00Sibel Naimeyordi committed aggravated intentional homicide, killing two men with two shots to the head.
00:08Her great nemesis was her father, the ogre who dominated her.
00:12At 18, Sibel was a quiet and even submissive young woman, but rebellious inside.
00:18A rebellion that cost her being subjected to mistreatment and the pressures of the Druze culture,
00:23which inevitably led to mental problems that led her to execute a plan that was completely illogical.
00:46This is Indie Crime, the podcast where you'll soon discover that the worst crimes aren't always the most notorious.
00:53A Good Girl. Episode 1. Sibel, Series 2.
01:00The Druze are an ethnoreligious group that emerged in Egypt in the early 6th century as a sect of Islam.
01:09I'm going to focus on the ethnoreligious group, and that is that only someone who is born Druze can be Druze.
01:17This is a detail to take into account in the story at hand.
01:20Originally, the Druze were Shia Muslims, but they soon wanted to be considered an independent, monotheistic and endogamous religion.
01:30With the territorial division between the powers of the 20th century, the Druze were divided between Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan,
01:39where they participated in the Syrian civil war and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
01:44Currently, there are about one million Druze spread across Lebanon, Israel and Jordan,
01:51and it is in Syria where more than half of them live.
01:54It is a closed religion, which combines the epistles of wisdom with learning from the Quran, the Torah and the Gospel.
02:03Those born in the Middle East already tend to have a harsh and, of course, somewhat biased view of many aspects of life.
02:12Even though these people live and develop in a Western culture, which also tends to be more permissive,
02:21Its ironclad principles of discipline are inherited and applied from generation to generation.
02:29Shawki Naime and Salam Jordi de Naime, both Lebanese citizens.
02:35He is a doctor by profession with a specialization in obstetrics.
02:39She has an undetermined profession or trade.
02:44Both, however, have in common a deep attachment to the Druze religion.
02:50They arrived in Venezuela from Lebanon in the early 1970s.
02:55Shawki Naime was one of the main shareholders of the Santa Sofía Clinic, located southeast of Caracas.
03:02He also owned Digital Médica, a public limited company.
03:05It is known that Shawki and Salam conceived three children, but for the purposes of this story, we will focus on their youngest daughter.
03:16In itself, for religious reasons, the Naime Jordi family was very reserved.
03:24Or rather, very closed.
03:27Shawki was an extremely strict guy.
03:30A pure and hard patriarch.
03:32Someone who based family dynamics on intimidation and terror.
03:37With the open tolerance of Salam Jordi, who was not necessarily the submissive wife who put up with everything.
03:44Rather, he was an active part in fostering the family's attachment to religion.
03:50Not many details are available about Sibel's siblings.
03:53Only there were two of them and she was the youngest.
03:56January 24, 1976.
04:00Caracas, Venezuela.
04:02That day, Dr. Shawki Naime and Salam Jordi de Naime welcomed their third daughter, whom they named Sibel.
04:09In fact, Sibel Naime Jordi, to go into detail.
04:13She wasn't exactly what you might call daddy's little girl.
04:18No.
04:19She was different from the rest of her siblings.
04:21First, because the father, Dr. Shawki, was not exactly someone who expressed his feelings.
04:29Or even an emotion with ease.
04:32And second, Sibel was curious.
04:35For that curiosity that awakens in any boy or girl.
04:39And that would lead her to try things different from what was expected of her inside the house.
04:45A curiosity that would be quickly interpreted by Shawki Naime as rebellion.
04:52But hers was something more.
04:54Her situation was going to escalate in ways no one could have foreseen.
04:59Sources from her environment, and by her environment we mean people who studied with her, never a relative.
05:05No.
05:06People who studied with her.
05:07Well, from that environment, from which more personal details were obtained, they described Sibel as a very homey girl with very limited opinions.
05:18When she was doing it, well, she was someone... very quiet.
05:22There were even those who described her as a shy and somewhat self-absorbed girl.
05:28When describing her from her surroundings, they highlighted that Sibel loved watching soap operas.
05:35She was even described as someone with very little academic potential, bordering on illiterate.
05:42In Venezuela, secondary school consists of three years of basic education.
05:48And then two more years which is called a diversified cycle.
05:52But when a student has performance problems, there are other alternatives.
05:59And those alternatives are called parasystems.
06:01These are schools where adolescents and adults attend classes in the basic and diversified cycle of secondary education.
06:08with a more flexible study regime that allows them to take courses for up to two years in parallel.
06:16With that in mind, well, Sibel Naime Jordi was not the brightest student.
06:24So, in 1994, her parents decided to enroll her at Minerva School, located in Prado Celeste.
06:31A wealthy area in southeastern Caracas.
06:35Everything so that he could complete his secondary studies.
06:38When the news of Sibel's double murder became public,
06:44among so many televised interviews,
06:46the lady who was in charge of the cafeteria at Minerva School
06:49He described Sibel in a manner that was, to say the least, picturesque.
06:55This lady said,
06:55There's no way she could have done something like that.
07:00Look, my 10-year-old son is much smarter than her.
07:04What's more, she's terrified of her dad.
07:07She is a normal girl, nice, but nothing special.
07:10Sometimes shy, sometimes she can be talkative and sometimes she can be silly.
07:16That girl didn't attract attention.
07:19He never gave any problems.
07:20Her mother brought her and came to pick her up every day.
07:25and the lady had left strict orders
07:27that they wouldn't let her leave school for anything.
07:31Other testimonies, besides this one,
07:35made it very clear that his father, Dr. Shao Kinaime,
07:38he was a perfect ogre.
07:40A perfect madman who brutally beat Sibel.
07:44Every time she didn't do what her father told her to do.
07:48Sibel was forbidden to bring visitors to her home,
07:52ergo, zero sleepovers with friends.
07:54No suitors, let alone a boyfriend.
07:57And less girlfriend, imagine that.
08:00No taking public transportation.
08:02Going out with friends wasn't even an issue.
08:05And another restriction was learned
08:07which not only confirms the level of terror
08:09that Shao Kinaime exercised with Sibel,
08:13but it is also humiliating.
08:15Very humiliating.
08:16Well, Sibel was forbidden to gain weight.
08:20And this pig forced her to kneel for up to 8 hours a day
08:25to force her to lose weight.
08:28And the icing on the cake, because fanaticism and religion,
08:31Sibel had already chosen the Druze man she would marry,
08:36waiting for her in Lebanon.
08:37At the end of that 1994 school year,
08:40They were going to send her so that the union would be consummated.
08:43Disgusting.
08:45This is how Sibel Naime Jordi must have felt at that time.
08:49The saddest thing is that she herself could not imagine
08:53that everything would get even worse.
08:56And that she would be the cause.
