When confronted with this, Faraj confessed to all of his crimes.[5] After the four victims' bodies were exhumed and examined, Faraj was charged with four counts of murder, as well as numerous counts of fraud and related offences. He was then detained at a local hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, which determined that he was not mentally ill and thus able to stand trial.[2] At the subsequent trials in Giza and Alexandria, Faraj was found guilty on all counts - he was given four death sentences corresponding to each murder, as well as a life sentence on the fraud and forgery charges.[6] He filed appeals against all of them, but thus far all of them have been rejected. He is now awaiting the outcome of a final appeal regarding his death sentence for the murder of Reda, which, if rejected, would mean that his appeals will be exhausted and he will likely be executed.[7]
