Summary of the subtitles (Arabic video: “{1496 - قصة بائع الذرة!!}”)

The video presents a crime story set in Morocco about a young serial offender known as Ayman, portrayed as the “youngest serial killer.” It claims that in 2014 Ayman was 17 years old and still in high school. During summer vacation—when he struggled to earn money—he moved from low-paid café work to selling grilled corn on the street.

How he was said to commit the crimes

  • Ayman buys corn from local markets, grills it, and sells it in public—using his normal presence as cover.
  • The story claims his first targeted victim was a wealthy Swedish man living alone in a luxury villa near the area where Ayman operated.
  • Ayman is said to have identified the victim after social interaction while selling corn, then used animal-like noises to lure the homeowner to open the door.
  • The video describes him then breaking in, stabbing the man from behind, and killing him, after which he allegedly stole money, jewelry, expensive watches/rings, and multiple currencies.
  • Despite the investigation (fingerprints, searches), authorities supposedly failed to identify him because he seemed like just another corn vendor.

Expansion into more victims

The video argues that Ayman escalated to multiple affluent targets, allegedly selecting people who lived alone in villas and using similar methods.

The subtitles name (or allude to) several victims as wealthy older men, including:

  • A Moroccan military/royal forces “colonel” (described as a retired leader)
  • A pharmacist
  • Additional named/unnamed rich villa residents

The video claims he made a plan to eliminate five people and carried out these killings over time, while continuing to sell corn openly near the crime scenes. After one killing, the story says he was nicknamed the “Butcher of Taounat,” driven by public shock—especially among families of the victims.

The arrest and near escape

  • During the attack on the leader (colonel), the victim supposedly fought back; the struggle ends with Ayman stabbing him repeatedly and (per the subtitles) twisting the knife until death.
  • The leader is portrayed as trying to raise the alarm while dying—screaming and banging the door—which draws attention.
  • A nearby military sergeant and other people notice Ayman on/at the property (or wall) after hearing the commotion.
  • Ayman is then chased at a car wash, where men throw stones; he is injured and captured by patrol/police, who take him to the station.

Confession and investigation outcome

  • The video claims that after the arrest, the colonel’s account helped connect Ayman to the earlier murder (the Swedish victim).
  • It states authorities found a list/plan indicating further intended victims and that Ayman had already stolen items from the Swede’s house.
  • Eventually, the subtitles say Ayman confessed and was linked to the sequence of crimes against wealthy individuals.

Legal point: punishment for a minor

The video shifts to commentary on law and sentencing:

  • It emphasizes that because Ayman was a minor, legal consequences are described as different from adults.
  • The subtitles claim punishment for minors can be heavy (e.g., lengthy imprisonment), and mention that in some countries laws may have changed.
  • The narrator concludes with an unusual claim about the final sentence: Ayman is said to be sentenced to prison “for five minutes for a year,” implying a very light or controversial outcome compared to the crimes.
