"Some people are so poor, the only thing they have is money."
A case like this, demonstrates that sad truth.
Money and cake
I’ve always loved that quote by Bob Marley “ some people are so poor , all they have is their money “ I know people like this ! Sad shallow way to be .
Hey, who said that quote? That's awesome!
Financially rich emotionally bankrupt
Sorry if you’re asking I don’t no
If they’re willing to cheat WITH you, they’ll also be willing to cheat ON you. It seems to be a universal truth, but our emotions tend to downplay it for immediate pleasure of relationship.
That is a Fact!
And the selfish belief that “we’re different” from the last girl
Pretty much..
Isn’t it some kind of cheating when they go back to their wife/girlfriend? I think when you have 2 partners you are kinda cheating on both of them 🤷🏼♀️. Idk might sound weird.
@@MAnna-tq9hg only if the one you are cheating on your wife/girlfriend is in an relationship with the cheater and not just a f*** buddy
Two things you should NEVER tolerate in a relationship: Infidelity and Physical/Emotional Abuse. Leave Immediately.
Any sort of abuse. Emotional and financial abuse can be as scary or worse.
@@younce-davis952 That pretty much describes like 75% of all the abusers out there... NOBODY is living in a perfect world!
Unfortunately islam teaches men that those things are just fine...for them.
@@redplanet7163 NO Islam does NOT teach men that abuse is ok. Study Islam first to know the truth.
@@redplanet7163 Islam is even AGAINST abuse.
Never tell a violent abuser that you're filing for divorce and then stay in the house with them.
Ever.
She never expected to be murdered by her horrible husband
@@ts4095 very rarely do people expect to be murdered, but abusers become more lethal when their victim tries to escape.
Elana's mother having it in her to thank the reporter for asking about the children after leaving the murder trial of her daughter, I only wish I could ever be that strong
It’s in our spirit! She is Croatian I am Bosnian 😪
@Moki Ac. Or she was still processing her emotions and disappointment after the trial, you can be shockingly calm in those types of situations.
The daughter had been buried for awhile.
I remember my doctor telling me about this case when i had really bad depression a few years back. She said no matter high your status or how good things seem on social media, you never know what's going on behind the scenes..
Truth
Thanks for this tearful crime story ,learning from this is a wake up .
Facts
That's true. People's lives are never as perfect as the image they craft for the world to admire. Never.
Things seeming good on social media is pretty much a giveaway that things are not good behind the scenes 🤷🏼♀️
As a medical doctor I can tell you that I’ve seen my share of psychopaths wearing a stethoscope!
Scary!
This why I take good care of my health and try to avoid surgery at all costs. If I have broken bones, etc. then that I cannot help seeing them.
@jinakurd2010 so it's only a matter of time until you hear of a doctor in your city being arrested for murder?
😂😂😂
😅
Ive seen a lot of true crime on RUclips, in my opinion this bloke probably deserves the top spot. He’s easy to listen to. Doesn’t use stupid catchphrases. Best demonstrates respect and preservation of dignity for any involved in the narrative. He doesn’t use gory details as a crutch like so many other channels who satisfy the morbidly curious, and disrespect the victims and loved ones at the same time.
You show this can be done articulately, consistently, and with great research. Keep ‘em coming.
Agreed!!!
I agree, some of them like this korean asian girl Stephanie is extra dramatic
And he doesn’t make weird insensitive jokes like Bailey does
✅✅
Not to mention he just delivers everything matter of factly in a chill and warm voice that really makes you feel welcome.
I’m very glad you mentioned the dark side of social media. Everyone knows it can be pretty unhealthy but it’s always nice to remind each other that it’s not an honest portrayal of life.
Absolutely. I stopped posting pictures of my 20 month old. I used to think it was harmless. However, after considering how this world is, how people are, how dishonest the portrayal of my daily life, I was putting forth, the absurdity of offering up my child's life to the abyss of the internet, the realization that my posting was just me satisfying my own vanity, I halted all posting. Social media can be and is used for good but it is also extremely dangerous and the perfect place to cultivate narcissism.
I've been off social media for 3 years. Much happier because of that decision!!!
Social media is the number one reason for couples breaking up, from what I've seen. I have Fb, just never use it.✌😸
# if it shoots send it 🇺🇦🇺🇸
I left Facebook about a year ago, i always envied how together everyone seemed, and then as time went on I realised it was all a lie! I knew different peoples true stories and
I also knew of people sleeping with other friends behind their spouses backs and I just couldn’t watch knowing they were oblivious and playing happy families. It was really messing me up and making me not trust anyone.
@@SpikeyAlbinoPotato yes. Good decision, I think.
It breaks my heart that the eldest daughter witnessed any part of her loving mother murdered. When Adrian said the daughter was 11/12 at the time she witnessed it all, I realized she was old enough to reflect and know what she saw. What a horrific memory to have and grow up with.
Stabler >
@@user-fk5zf1ei6f good one dude
Yeah and when Adrian said he hoped it was the best coffee I was thinking i hope they got his order all kinds of wrong. I pray the children and family find peace 😢🙏🏼
you can reflect what you saw even at age of 3-4...it will be stuck with you for rest of your life
If she were a "loving mother", she wouldn't have allowed that abusive asshole within 500ft of her children because he easily could have turned violent towards them at any second and she allowed that risk to remain every single day.
“Thank you for asking” in response to press questions. She’s a sweetheart right there.
Possibly just FOURTEEN YEARS in prison for murdering another human being simply to “protect his assets from divorce”????? Outrageous. Canada’s criminal justice system clearly needs to do some self-examination, and ask itself what “JUSTICE” truly is…
Divorce among wealthy women is extremely common
Forcing the man to part with his property should never be a part of future divorce. This is malicious
Elana Fric's mother Anna has said during the lead-up to the trial/sentencing the family tried to sort out the financial situation and could only find a "few dollars" in their mutual bank accounts/investments etc. It is suspected that Shamji hid everything offshore with the help of his family so that there will be money available when he gets out (his first parole hearing will be in 2030)
Just - Ice a myth 😪🙏
Finally someone said it “we will never get justice, because will never get her back”
Death is so permanent, and its crazy how someone else can make that permanent decision for someone else. smh
I was thinking the same thing. Death penalty will not truly get justice for the people they kill because it won't bring them back. But I'm for the death penalty for serious crimes that can 100% be proven with evidence for things like murder and sexual assault. People like that do not get better or rehabilitated. They will continue to do more self serving behaviors if they are released. And sadly many do get released only to reoffend and ends more innocent lives. Death penalty for those who are better off never getting out or getting back into society.
its not just about the justice lmao, punishment is also meant as a deterrent to future criminals to rethink what they are about to do and is it worth it
@@syzler8664 and removing current criminals from society so they can’t harm the general good public
@@syzler8664 Except its proven the death penalty doesn't make people rethink anything
How are you so sure death is permenant and there's no life after death?
Do you really think you just simply came to existence, specifically built or created the way you are and there's no purpose to this existence. You just exist, exist simply because you exist and you weren't built with any purpose at all. Life is just a game and you live for a short while and then you just die is that it?
What makes you sure there's no higher power?
I was in med school for 4 years; the most ambitious students were always the most sociopathic!
they don’t waste their time in relationships
udents and felt always a connection because i tought that a docor has to be smart, genlte, empathic… while i grown up and dated some doctors and medicine students, i realized they are very weird, emotionally stump, cold, not empathic and some times really narcistic……
This is so true 😆
@@catarinarosario9867 im a law student and its more because they don't have compassion and will step on anyone to get to the top. same in law.
Believable. Because I get goosebumps just seeing blood but apparently to some doctors it’s a pleasure and NOTHING. Makes perfect sense
A former coworker of mine was Dr. Shamji’s patient. He had suffered from a bad back for years. He had an MRI done and was scheduled for surgery. Then the news broke that Dr. Shamji had been charged with killing his wife. My coworker arrived at the office that morning and announced in a stunned voice that his specialist had been arrested for murdering his wife. “OMG!” We all gasped, “He was your doctor?”
This is one of my biggest internal conflicts as I move through life. Dr. Shamji performed life altering spinal surgery on me in 2013. His care as a doctor was unbelievably unparalleled in quality in care. He saved my mobility and life when no other surgeon would. Gets weird thanking a murderer for my life changing surgery.
Well they do say psychopaths sometimes make the best surgeons
WOW!! That is a wild story.😮 But I'm happy your surgery was successful.
He should be doing surgery in prison if he's some people's only chance. For those who dare to take it, that is.
Majority of such creeps in patriarchal cultures can show successful resume. Get a perspective!
@@roughnotes0033 is the perspective racism?
Kudos to her parents. When she went missing, they took a plane and were at the front door at 5am. He messed with the wrong one!
Her mother comes across as strong yet caring when questioned for the cameras. Still being level headed after walking out of court for something like this is a feat on it's own.
💪💪💪
Windsor ON is about 4 hours away from Toronto. If they showed up at the house at 5 in the morning, they probably drove instead of flying… just saying
Making breakfast when they know he did something to their daughter is an absolute power move.
@@lucwaide7131 Yah you're probably right
I thought the same thing about her parents! You hear far too often that people wait too long to actually involve themselves in a sketchy disappearance of a loved one, and often times that time lost could have saved a life.
I watched a program W5,all about this case. Elena and her mother were extremely close and would talk at least three times a day . I feel horrible for her losing a daughter to that psycho
I really appreciate how Adrian doesn't ever make excuses for the perpetrators, he never blames or disrespects the victims, and he makes super engaging videos whilst sticking to the facts and not over sensationalizing the story. Legit my favorite crime series.
FACTS 💥💥💯
I mean if he did, he wouldn't even have a chanel
To be fair, what possible excuses could you make for any of the perpetrators in these videos, they’re all despicable people
Agreed on all points!
exactly, i like watching adrian’s videos more than anything true-crime related on netflix. that’s how damn good he is.
She was naive to think that he will change into a gentleman..."a leopard never changes its spots." You can see from all his photos that he was faking his smile...he's weird, cold, distant & nasty. He's those type of people who have negative energy/ emotions. He should've been given life in jail without parole.
They lived in the same neighborhood as me. It’s hard to believe this maniac would throw away his entire life because of his ego. He could have just gotten a divorce. He was a brilliant doctor and saving many lives at the time.
This was my neurosurgeon. I saw him a few weeks before he killed his wife. He was different than when I saw him before that last visit. I told my husband after that last time I saw Dr. Shamji that his eyes were dead and his demeanour had changed from friendly to dark and cold. He was supposed to perform surgery on my back. No doctor ever saw the issues he found. I get more and more bed-bound every day without that surgery but I feel more for their children than myself. They’ve lost their mother and father. How can I really complain. I hope Dr. Shamji never gets released. He destroyed so many people with his selfish actions. No one belongs to another. If someone wants to leave, especially to to escape abuse, how dare you stop them as if they’re your property. Things could have been so different if he wasn’t so selfish and cruel. He’s right where he belongs. RIP Elana.
Who it is hard to believe that can trust a man like that to do their surgery.
Of course no one can accurately predict the future!
I’m so sorry that’s a sad situation to be in for you and for the children. I’m not sure what your specific problem is or if it would be possible but there is a wonderful neurosurgeon Brown in RI (only tethered cord) as well as 2 well known ones in NY and one in MD. They treat tethered cord and Chiari malformation. I’ve had both. I hope you can get your issue addressed living that way is miserable and isn’t really living. Sending you lots of love and hugs.
Did you get a settlement?
@@conjandysecurity lol, why would she, he didn't mess up her back!
Would you ever let him do surgery on you?
Honestly, if you are giving the other person divorce papers FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO STAY FOR THE NIGHT! The most dangerous time for a woman is when she leaves, so please stop trusting and be extra cautious around that time and go stay with a friend or in a hotel going forward 🙏🏾💔
Agreed. Would recommend being prepared to leave the property that night and have family or police to escort you, especially if the relationship involves domestic violence. Tragic case and very sorry for both families.
What about the kids?
@@pia_mater obviously you take them with you !
Absolutely. You will soon find (all night long) that you should have not stayed!!!
I read in a media account, Elana's mother was very concerned about this and wanted to at least come and stay with her, but Elana did not want that.
Adrian, it was easily discernible that you are a learned man as evidenced by your propensity for medicine and engineering. Perhaps this is why your content is gripping, entertaining and engaging. That said, I’d like to thank you for your excellent work. As a former police officer you’d think true crime would be redundant for me, but I still love it. So, fast forward to years after retirement I find your channel thus reigniting the passion for the field. I just wanted to thank you and keep up the excellent work.
I was in contact with a fellow rare disease patient in Canada right after this happened, and she was telling me about how all of this went down. This man was her doctor and was the only one in the nation who knew how to treat her disease, and so she was put onto a wait list for other doctors around Canada, but expected to wait over 2 years because of the rarity of her disease and how unfamiliar everyone was with it.
Really sad... Listen to me please... Actually, 90% of the Americans, Canadians and the entire Europeans are softcornerd humanists.These people are harmonious & Supporters.But the problem is you can't identify the crookedness of the Political islamists.Kindly try to learn about islamic history & there Quran. Then only you can escape from these communalists. In there Quran itself says all others (Non-muslims)are 'Kafir'so treat them badly. If you get a chance to kill a kafir...do it.. It also sacrifices their Allah...,at the same time they know how to act well... Most of the islamist act as good person... It also mentioned there religious book.. These kind of acting is known as 'Taqiyya'... Whicha means saying or acting a lie on other religious people... So be wise with mingling with them... There aim is to conquer the world with islam...so they marry up to 4...making population outburst etc.. So the European/American /Canadians especially ladies must aware of POLITICAL ISLAM & there ideology.otherwise you lost your culture & motherland forever 🙂.Atlast, these countries must careful about the isalmic refugees..otherwise definitely you all regret soon...
So sad for the children. Losing both parents. I hope they've had a good life since then. Wishing them the best in life!They have loving grandparents❤️
Such sad destruction of what could have been a wonderful happy family. May God bless the children and their loving grandparents.
Yes, I watched a program that featured Elena’s mother. The children all live in Windsor with their grandparents
@@chelseagirl278 good to hear
@@shirmeymckamey9386 have you heard of McKamey manor 😳❤️
@@RaccoonNation no I haven't. Where's that?
I live in Toronto, and this doctor saved my friend's life a couple of months before all this; we were shocked! The irony!
The feeling of betrayal and trust, I must say
Talk about too close for comfort. I would be absolutely shocked. I'm glad your friend is ok though. Sending you and your friend many positive vibes.
@Sara A , thank you! Right back to you! 😘 Yes, he is doing great!
It’s sad when a person with the ability to save lives instead decides to take life.
Maybe his ability to do what he was able to do gave him a God complex and let him think that because he had saved lives he could take them too.
but that is what surgeons are supposed to do DAILY.
I love your preamble about the locations of the incidents and crimes. I've learnt so much from your information. I also love how you end with a respectful tribute to the victims .❤
You are doing a phenomenal job of managing and presenting your channel. Your determination, research and all the other behind the scenes work that goes on doesn't go unnoticed 🤩
Awe 😥 That poor daughter who has to live with witnessing her father killing her mother. Even if she didn't see the act in its entirety, she'll always know in her heart what she walked in on 💔
Omg I am so angry and disgusted. I thank God that I saw your comment. That's it I'm done. As a practising muslim and former christian. This case really pisses me off. Muhammad is a disgrace to islam and us muslims. I saw your comment and couldn't watch the rest of the video. After what you revealed. I thank you, and hope you research islam. Not through a biased lense but through a fair and open mind. Islam refutes this despicable human being Muhammad. I am disgusted.
Sorry but what normal person marries someone named Mohammed? It's one step away from marrying ISIS terrorist
Poor kid.
Spoiler alert
No spoiler because no sane person reads comments before a video. Your comment serves no purpose as an “alert” either ...
Dr.Shamji was my doctor. I had one surgery with him and was waiting for my second when all this occurred. I was in shock when a neighbour called and told me she had seen him on the news. I couldn't believe this kind, soft spoken doctor I had had known for two years would have such a dark side. That poor woman !! Now 3 children without their parents and the girls who have to live with the trama of what they heard and seen! It's heart breaking!

I've been around doctors a lot in personal settings and public. You'd be surprised how many doctors are very good at putting on their professional face when in reality they're kind of disturbed
These videos are so sad x you tell them with care and understanding I'm sat here with a coffee and watching your video thank you ❤
Shamji's father was a renowned thoracic surgeon in Ottawa and was also affiliated with the University of Ottawa. While Mohammed Shamji was awaiting trial for the murder of his wife, his father attended a retirement dinner for a colleague and during a speech he made an incredibly inappropriate comment about domestic violence in a laughing manner. He was subsequently suspended from his position and ultimately resigned. It would appear that Mohammed Shamji learned much about how to treat his wife/women by how his father brought him up.
I saw the joke on Twitter. It's pretty much a very stale dad joke or something your annoying aunt would forward on Facebook. Hardly something to get fired over, but a man who can't tell a funny joke definitely can't read a room lol. I'm sure he wanted the ground to swallow him when nobody laughed, and he suddenly remembered his son was on trial for murder at the time. Yikes.
"These snapshots are cherry picked from the very best of our moments. And this desensitizes the pleasures of everyday living." Adrian, you are awesome. Thank you for this!
You're welcome! It's an invisible problem which negatively affects almost all of us, I wish people were more careful with social media and its influential effects.
I liked the word 'cherrypicked' here, cos they really are.
Hi Adrian. Coffee House Crime tells this story well. Thanks again for covering your stories so that we can understand them. People are so jealous of anyone, family, friends, co-workers, whoever will put up with their ignorance of life skills. Will be watching your other shows as well, Love and spectacular times to you, peace, Janine Smiley😆🙂😎🤩🤗
@@CoffeehouseCrime I have recently found your channel.💖..(where have I been?!!). I love your flair for language, your respect for the victim and the detailed and well researched backstory you present. There are no gossipy asides, no judgement of the victim. You present in such an empathetic and genuine manner. Have you thought of writing a book of these ? Thank you.
A woman that is leaving an abusive relationship is at such a high risk of danger, so heartbreaking that cases like this continue to happen 😞 She and her children did not deserve this. Thank you for sharing her story ❤️
Yup always have an armed escort for delivering the papers and leaving.
So why did she continue to have children, they had no choice in the matter & I have not time for the adults. I was in an abusive marriage, with a 9 month old baby, no family, no money, no phones of any kind as it was the 80’s & I decided I couldn’t subject my child to this. It was terrifying as this man tried to break into my home & more, but I persevered & divorced him finally. So, if I could do it, why don’t others?
@@SuperMarion61 people experience things in this world differently, your own experiences do not equal others. I'm sorry you suffered through that and I'm glad you're safe, but this mindset is incredibly ignorant
@Delirious Squid DV has always been at the point of causing murder, women have chosen men that kill them since time began.
It's about personal responsibility and accountability.
Every case of DV starts with a women (usually) saying "yes please, I choose you over all the good men"

Adrian,
I can see that you make engaging and very well researched videos. Well done and keep up the good work.
Your narrative is so well done 👏
Mohamad seemed like he was a narcissist. Cheating, rude, blaming his wife when they would fight, & after he killed his wife, then tried to run while drinking coffee. Smh.
I hope he's denied parole. POS.
RIP Angel 🕊🌾❤
Prayers for the children and family.
TY Adrian for covering this horrific story as always with respect and compassion. 👍👏😉
God bless 👑🙏🏻🕊🌾💞💞
Yes he sounded like a narcissist. Crazy and evil he is.
*Shamji. Too bad he didn't set her up with the friend after all lol.
I'm not making excuses for the asshole, but you people should probably cool it off with the armchair psychology. We'll never know what really happened inside his head to push him so far
He should be denied parole for the rest of his life.
You realize she did the same thing except for the murder part, right?
I left an abusive spouse, it was escalating. But you never believe it will lead to murder. Still, I was afraid enough to go to a shelter and lived there 3 months with my kids. Unless you've been through it, leaving can be almost impossible. I never judge those who keep staying because it was very traumatic on all of us leaving our familiar life and becoming so poor. People tell women to leave all the time, but then they look down on them for needing public assistance. The story is long, but the courts also won't give custody to the abused parent unless there's proof the abuser has harmed the child. So I would've stayed there if had to send them the to be alone with him as he got drunk and violent at night. Every night. My only option was to make an agreement with him, he could have everything, the house, the car, the furniture even, in exchange for him signing the agreement to giving me custody and he got only supervised visits.
I also had to pretend to be his friend so he wouldn't think me his enemy. I agreed to the lowest child support the court would allow. So he wouldn't be mad.
He agreed and so I could know my kids were safe, but we had nothing. Starting completely over was extremely hard. I never really achieved the success I had built in life until that point, starting from below zero makes it so hard, especially when you now have children to care for.
I look back now, and see it truly had all the signs that my life and my kids' lives were in danger. I'm glad I left. But leaving doesn't give you back your life. An abusive relationship that involves kids and redoing your life changes things forever. It's so much better to never get into one. I know they aren't always apparent up front. But be so very careful, if you see any signs, trust me, RUN.
Glad u got away
Wow this is the same story of my like i run from house with my 2 kids ans i never ask for child support ur story i was reading like u r telling my story i wish u all the best and happy life Ameen
No excuses, if you have kids involved and know that your partner is abusive/violent, you get them the fuck out of there immediately. NO EXCUSES.

Really great coverage of this case! 😊
Adrian, I am binge watching from Cyprus, thank you. 👍👍👍👍
He may have been a extremely skilled surgeon in his field but he became that doctor so that he would would be held in high regard and admiration, not because he cared about the patients.
That's a lot of surgeons, tbh, and it's not entirely a bad thing. Surgeons and other similar hospital personnel work around a lot of death, and those that care too much often end up in a bad place.
Precisely.
My father is a spine surgeon and a very great man, but even he admits "surgeons are generally complete and total narcissistic assholes."
Well said Adrian. She loved him more than herself. He loved himself more than anything.
Adrian!! You are doing an awesome job with your channel. Continued success dude.
Very sad, you do fantastic coverage
This should be a wake up call to a lot of people in abusive relationships. You don’t deserve to feel unimportant, you don’t deserve abuse and you do deserve to be loved by someone. Point blank. No one is special enough or important enough to be allowed to abuse you in any way. It’s so sad that Elana didn’t realize this before this whole situation got far out of hand.
I agree with you.
You're right, but unfortunately love can often be blind.
I'm sure she did. Difference stroke for different folks.
@@EIRE55 because both parties cannot accept on being in a toxic relationship with the other person.
As must as I agree, it's easier said then done...getting out of an abusive relationship that is. It took me years to leave and years to realize that I am worth it.
The most dangerous time for people in abusive situations is when they try to leave. Which is why it's so hard for people to end terrible relationships. So many women have been killed when they find the strength to leave.
yeah because by the time they want to leave it's too late, that's why people with self respect only choose partners who are good for them, they show a single red flag you get rid of them not stay with them for 2 years, it's too late by then.
@@steviejrr I just want to point out that abuse doesn’t always start right from the off or violently. It can start years into a relationship and with little psychologically manipulative comments that may not be easily recognized in the moment. It’s not always clear cut.
For example, one of my aunts dated this guy for close to three years and he gave no indication that he was capable of abuse. A few months AFTER they were married he became verbally and physically aggressive. He did a 180 once he felt that he had “secured her” and thought she wouldn’t be able to leave him. She did end it after a couple of weeks which is very quickly all things considered and managed to get out. Still it was almost three years in that the abuse started and if the situation had been different and she more dependent on him or especially if kids were involved that would have made it even more difficult.
As a criminology student this is 100% true. The risk of being murdered by a partner/former partner increases a ridiculous amount once they leave.
@@KFA8piece yes right ! Abusive violent men show their true colors after marriage or after moving in
@@steviejrr 100% TRUTH!!!
Well told story. Thanks for sharing!! Very sad for the kids and the victim's family.
Adries! I am enjoying your channel.
I have always been interested in crime documentary.
Australia is currently reeling from the fact that 14 women have been murdered since the beginning of this year. At least half in acts of Domestic Violence. It’s just insidious, this case is absolutely heartbreaking.
Yup, domestic violence, like alcoholism crosses every social and economic boundary. Truly horrendous.,

@@richardcranium7899 psychopath, other people do care about such things
Can I just inform people, as a student in University (college) when I was in high school all the aspiring Medicine students from each year level were the most psychopathic and emotionally lacking individuals I'd ever met. You'd think it'd be the opposite, but its not.
With the potential for control over the life or death of others - the field naturally attracts such people. Along with those who seek the coldness of material/status gain above all.
This.
I also have yet to meet a doctor with compassion and empathy. Such a strange thing to chose a career in helping people and doing almost the complete opposite 😞
I totally agree and many of the high achievers and medical aspiring students were crazy! I have some in my family.
Its sad to say, but they almost have to be to withstand the emotional weight of such an occupation. An empath would burn out very quickly
@@nilara93 this mostly comes because people in my career field; alot the phds in the medical field as per my experience are like that & I think it’s because most of them did it for the title, the prestige, ego & money which wouldn’t have been a bad thing if care, compassion were added to the list.
I love this channel because it showcases that psychopaths come in all shapes, sizes and forms. You can never assume how evil or good a person is or isn’t from the outside looking in!
Always good. Many thanks.
Just imagine someone killing your daughter and being able to walk free after serving only 14yrs. Her life was only worth 14yrs… This man taking away the mother of his children should of gotten life w/o parole. Those kids will never be able to hear their mothers voice,never be able to hug their mother,etc yet this man could get out in as little as 14yrs! Canada needs a better judicial system.
Canada is not alone in that respect, sadly.✌😸
# if it shoots send it 🇺🇦🇺🇸
Canada and especially the UK are way to soft on crime.
if he walks free in 14 years I seriously hope that someone finds him and does you know what to him
Yes, it’s hardly punishment for taking another persons life!! The United States’ justice system is also really screwed up!! There can be two separate murders that have identical stories but depending on what state they’re in, they will have completely different outcomes! One might get life, and the other might get 15 years. It’s ridiculous! In this case, how is it possible to get as little as 14 years for MURDER??!! Unbelievable!
Yup. It seems that many/most nations don't take crime seriously at all.
How many red flags does a relationship need before someone calls it quits? It can only ever end badly. Ladies, if someone shows you who they are, believe them and leave.

Love your content & presentation 👏
Imagine you study your whole life to become a Neurosurgeon with a PhD and you have a beautiful family and so many lives that you are changing but all goes to the landfill because you are a psychopath and you killed your wife! So scary
been seeing a pattern that highly intelligent people have some sort of psychopathic tendencies
He had it all and messed it up so strange
I think because he is a psycho that he was able to advance in his field.
A lot of people from east and west Asia only become doctors for the status. They simply don't care about the patients. It is a cultural thing and it is quite sad.
Right? All that work just to go down the drain because you want to control someone else. I’ve seen men carry out these crimes because they want to avoid child/spousal support or splitting of assets after divorce. I low key might sound like I’m ignoring the problem, but I’d also like to see something done about these outdated laws so that less men feel desperate in those sort of situations.
As a person who recently escaped a very controlling and abusive relationship, I strongly urge people to leave their suffocating situations. Even, and especially if their are children involved. Never become someone’s possession or property. And it will NEVER get “better”. You have the strength in you, you just don’t realize it until you do.

Speaking in general yes it does not get better. Glad mine did I would NEVER trade him for the world. People sometimes do CHANGE.
@@glow1815 Please hand the device back to your wife!
@@glow1815 maybe, but even if they change, who says they deserve for me to wait .
@@glow1815 People CAN change, but they don't unless given sufficient reason to. Change is difficult, and stressful, why would we do it if we're getting our way?
It may have worked out for you, but please don't give others false hope. I don't know what happened in your case, but staying with an abuser reinforces their behavior. Leaving is the best chance, not only for the victim, but for the abuser to get better as well. Staying is like giving a drug addict a comfortable home, and plenty of money. They are far, far, less likely to get better, hitting rock bottom is essential for them making a better life later on.
I dont know where to run away, im financially dependant on him and he's always saying horrible things at home but pretends to be a nice caring dad when we go outside
Medicine is one of those fields that attract psychopaths, like army or police. Basically any job that offers even small power over people, even teaching. Some naively think that a doctor, someone who works hard to save people, is a nice, kind person. And I don't believe that it's years of losing patients that makes some doctors devoid of empathy, they've been like that the whole time.
Most doctor are not kind, they are egotistical and speak about patients terribly behind their back you’d be suprised tbh
@@fal9005don't care. I'm going to a surgeon to get surgery, not make friends. I don't care if they're the nicest person in the world or the meanest son of a bitch, in fact being "nice" would hinder their ability to do the job properly.
Profession that often playing God.
Thanks again love your relaxing voice. Even though the stories are so very sad. God's Armor over you
"These snapshots are cherry-picked from the very best of our moments, and this desensitizes the pleasures in everyday living."
There is always at least one gem of insight in your videos. This is one of the best.
I thought the same...I even wrote it down.
It’s one thing for people to only post the good times, especially as people get mad if you “over share” the bad. It’s another level to share a social media. It is an even deeper layer to have control of 2 different social media accounts, posting as the both of you. This man was beyond sick and showed all the signs really early on smdh
If anyone who happens to read this is in a similar situation to Elana, please know that you don't owe your abuser a "proper breakup". If they've been physically abusive in the past or have a history of violence, please either break things off with them in a public space or have someone with you when you do tell them it's over. Have a team present to intervene for the worst case scenario or have witnesses present. You are not alone and shouldn't have to deal with this alone. Build your team and seek out resources, you deserve so much more
Excellent advice!
Don't even tell them. Escape and don't look behind. Speaking from experience.
@@cyndylou3140 Absolutely, absolutely true. Unless you absolutely have to break up in person, just pack up your essentials and get out
this advice is popular nowdays in Greece were we see a boom on femicies.
He was horrible
She was academically excellent too
An amazing wife mother daughter but he a failure in life
Dr saves life
And how can a Dr so good kill own wife so heinously
And Her parents were right from the start if she had listened to them atleast alive today
And they're also so amazing and her children are in safe hands
But there is no Justice to her parents and the mad Dr was even very very disrespectful towards them
Then trying to fled with brother not even slightly guilty to leave the children behind
Really needs a death sentence if not anyway some people live long with zero positivity in life
Just suicide will probably feel an escape to him🔥 @DaniH he is just focused on excellency on that field just probably one psycho type person, the woman Elena seems so sweet amazing also excellent in her field she gave him three beautiful children and the selfish Dr killed her just for nothing
Sorry I wrote a lot
And thank you for writing your experience ma'am
It's really unbelievable feeling that such heinous people just so cruel exist among us and appear totally normal in their office and social media but just at home so violent 😒
Like he was impregnating her also having affairs with other women also acting as a professional healthy person so in love on social media
I have being watching all your video’s for weeks today I finally subscribed
Very well narrated !
Adrian, as a nurse of 30+ years, I can see that you could have been an amazing doctor. Bedside manner is so important to patients, and you seem to be a very kind and thoughtful person. I've watched your RUclips channel grow so quickly, but if you ever decide to change careers, I think you would be a great asset to the medical field.

Thank you! Got a new one from Japan in the works!
@@CoffeehouseCrime Looking forward!
@@CoffeehouseCrime 😁 Yay
He's not really non bias, but it's cool to get these narrations I guess
@@CoffeehouseCrime The tension's really building on this one! Adriane can turn a phrase like few others.
I am so glad I came across your channel some time ago. The cases you cover are interesting and unique. Well done to you for reaching a substantial amount of subscriber's. Plus you look like you have gained so much confidence. Every episode is better than the last ☺️ I actually hope it was the worst coffee he ever had. Facebook is the biggest con.
I like the way you narrate. You don’t waste time apart from here and there.
Whenever a case involves a doctor being the perpetrator, all I can think of is the doctor going through all those years of medical school, the most grueling thing I've been through, and then throwing away all that hard work and all of the wonderful rewards that come with it. He could have had a wonderful life with his wife and children, sending them to good colleges and being grandparents with this woman who seemed to want to love him. The guy couldn't get out of his own way.
Came here to say that
Not to defend his actions but that sounds like such a boring life.
@@sola_a It's a murder-free, prison-free life where he keeps doing what he went through a lot of schooling for. Also, if the guy is making surgeon money and is living a boring life, he's doing something wrong even with a wife and three kids factored in. This'll be my sixteenth year of being an optometrist and have experienced a lot of fun and memorable things thanks to my career.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu and it's great that that sounds appealing to you but to me that seems incredibly stressful and unfulfilling. I almost settled for this type of life doing what everyone else seems to be doing. I would've absolutely hated myself and still be depressed if I didn't escape from that prison.
But hey, cool that it worked out for you
@@sola_a It's not really stressful. It's only stressful on the rare days where I don't have appointments and no one is doing walk-ins. Then it's boring and I pass my time talking to the other doctor or to the floor staff or watching something on RUclips. The job is repetitive, but interacting with people spices it up. As for unfulfilling, I get fulfillment from my work by helping people and by ensuring that my wife and I can live the life we want to. She's the one with the pressure job being an emergency room doctor, but she loves challenges and problem solving and is damn good at her job. She's the definition of grace under pressure.
All that said, the medical field certainly isn't for everyone. There are a lot of washouts in medical school, not everyone knows how to channel/cope with the pressure once you start practicing, and burnout is a huge problem at all levels. There can be a lot of tedious bureaucracy and picky insurance companies to deal with, too. I hope you're doing well with whatever you're doing.
What a waste of talent. He was a life-saving doctor who decided to take the life of the one closest to him. What’s even more mind-boggling is how these women (Elana and the other women he dated/cheated with) even bothered with him. He sounds like the worst person to be around. Self-centered, shut off, manipulative, abusive. What redeeming qualities did he have beyond his talent as a doctor? Rest In Peace to Elana. And prayers to her children, parents, family and friends.
$$$?
Somali muslim...say no more!
I dated a very manipulative idiot. Up to this day, I believe I had mental health issues to have put up with that. I feel bad for the women who can't get out.. Because as we all know it never ends well
She was also a doctor, she probably had a lot of patients that missed her as well. A tragedy all around. Wonder if she was kept busy enough with her career that she could overlook a lot :C such a tragedy
Unfortunately a typical symptom of a narcissist is that they can be very charming and manipulative. After the police case with him, you can see how apologetic he was and how he twisted his way back into her good books so she would drop the charges. It's sickening! But that's what these master manipulatorscan do to their partners. I managed to convince a British work colleague that her partner (happened to also be Muslim) was a narcissist. She never saw his behaviour as narcissistic before I spoke to her, but upon realising, has now managed to get out of the relationship.
Sometimes it's good to listen to an outsiders opinion...
Can you do some true crime from ireland plz love your content and lots of them I've never heard of thanks for sharing Adrian 😁
Never ever get involved with a person who comes from a culture that treats their wife as objects rather than human beings and get treated with dignity, decency, and respect.......i did say never, ever, didn't I.
One case and you've come up with such bs!! Domestic violence happens in every culture. In England, if a football team loses, the domestic violence cases are sky high, white men beating up their partners over a football match 😂
Where's the respect and dignity gone then?? Love how people in the West act so civilised
NEVER tell your abuser u are planning to leave! Just get things in order on the sly, and disappear completely.
Exactly!
That can work if you're by yourself, but you can't easily do that if you children and there's no evidence of abuse.
@@Scion141 I 'disappeared' with 3 kids. At what point wd I have had to let my abuser know my plans? I relocated to a dif' city and we stayed in women's shelter til I got a few pay checks for rent. They even had funds to cover my deposit on an apartment.
@@Scion141 more than one kind of abuse.........still get out.
@@thegreencat9947 How does your comment relate to mine in any way? I never said that there was only one type of abuse, nor did I say you shouldn't leave. I just said that, for some people, leaving is not as easy.
I've worked with several Neurosurgeons across time, and each and every one were very very "off." They all gave me really creepy vibes despite being great doctors.
Wow, this is kind of scary.
Their job is very stressful. They are not God and they can acquire all form of mental diseases from dealing everyday with ugly things such as: bloods, dissecting human body and all form of shits,
Yup, it's called a god complex.
you are a very good storyteller
Great content keep it coming
My ex beat me up a couple of times before I decided to divorce him. Later on he went on to becoming an engineer, and his criminal record for domestic violence didn’t affected him in the slightest. Now he continues to abuse his new partner along with her child. He “disciplines” the little boy with a daily beating in front of the boy’s mother. She won’t report him because she doesn’t want to ruin his career.
Clearly the affects of Domestic Abuse are not only physical harm, but also severe psychological damage.
I’m glad you left him. I hope his current family leaves him, too.
I’m not religious but with stories like these, God bless them
You should report what you know about his abuse towards his son and wife anonymously. Welfare checks on this family would help tremendously. You could be saving lives by reporting them and what you know about your ex's behavior. Not to do anything when knowing that abuse exists is being an accomplice. Please report your ex.
How do u know that this is happening? Just wondering 😎
Glad he is ur ex
Please report him if you know he is harming a child.
My heart broke when the mother spoke to the reporters. She seems such a kind and gentle woman. Saying thank you and being patient even after all of that.
No
Very astute remarks on the pitfalls of social media. I've been off for a few years now, and my mental health, wellbeing, and relationships are so much better and more precious to me. Better to focus on real life and the people in your real life!
Adrian, you are doing an amazing job keeping my attention with your Coffeehouse Videos! I feel one day that this series will end. Only because you will be doing something way bigger!! Best to you and yours and thank you for creating this channel for this big Sherlock Holmes nut!!
There is something that we are missing in Elana's background - despite all her outstanding qualities, she valued herself so little that she deemed herself unworthy of him at the very beginning of their relationship, where did this come from?! The dynamics of their relationship was so very unhealthy from the start, there was no way this could have ended well.... It would be more understandable if he was charming or love-bombing her at first, but he was cold, she was basically buying his attention... I would really like to hear a psychologist's take on this.
True i agree, she was smart, educated and where was her pride? they brought 3 children into this marriage which never would have lasted. The toxic marriage lasted 12 years!!The min a guy doesn't value you, you leave and find someone who does.
Girlllllll! Lemme tell you this. I’m no psychiatrist or psychologist, but crazy people need love too.
Doesn't necessarily mean anything was amis in her background. She got infatuated with him and didn't want to give him up. 'Till death do us part...
@@marklanger7965 Yes and it is important for both to value each other. I have noticed that is how happy couples last and are happy. They love, respect and support each other.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj That's of course ideal, unfortunately there's small percentage of healthy relationships. Most people are impatient to wait and to keep looking for someone who is healthy for them, also there's no guaranty finding the right person. Therefore, majority settles down for less than what they deserve and the unhealthy chain of events starts unfolding. I feel aways sorry for kids. I find it irresponsible to give birth to a child knowing that you're not in a healthy relationship. In the end kids are the ones who are suffering for no reason...
Anyone else get SO EXCITED when you get Coffeehouse Crimes videos ?!?! Adrian is a wonderful and respectful story teller !! Its a pleasure to watch his videos !! 😊
I totally agree! 😀👍

I remember this case when it happened! I was living in Toronto at the time. It was really upsetting!
I feel like they could've spared the parents having to see their daughter's brutalized body if they were just going to do a DNA test anyways. Can you imagine having that memory forever? I truly feel for her parents. All of her family, but especially them.
Although this guy got life with parole, remember that if he does get out, he has nothing. He has a permanent criminal record saying he is a MURDERER, he has no more medical license and googling his name shows his horrific crimes. His daughters most likely hate him and he is not allowed near them. Even if he does get out, he will forever live miserably and that's exactly what he deserves.
Yeah. His career was ruined after all. By himself.
can't he just flee to another country where they don't have the standard to look up criminal records from other countries? He could move there and be a piece of crap over there all over again. And he can probably resume being a surgeon over there too if records are not nessesary. Do you think a third world country would pass up the oppurtunity to hire a world class surgeon just because he lacks some papers or something? He seems highly intelligent I think he can work himself around their system very easily. In third world country there's even a genius boy in india with no formal training that performs surgeries so I think that says alot that they don't quite have the same system of needing everything documented like in western countries. That would not be possible at all here since you need years and years of training and have official license before you are allowed to practice medicine.
He can easily take up his practice in another country. Use an alias. Its been done numourous times over then years. Some areas don't do a thourough background check. They are just happy to aquire a skilled surgeon.
@@zebnemma any first world country requires a medical license and degree... So he can either risk them looking up his schooling and find out it's been revoked (dvm here, I had to pay lawyers to get everything certified in canada, even with a hard copy of my degree and navle results), or try and fake it all, which is hard
Excellent comment, hopefully this will make up for what is a notoriously poor justice system.
His anger and rage won't go away in prison - pity any woman who gets tangled up with him. Well told as ever, Mr. Coffee.
@Zarp Sterr 🤣🤣 let’s hope so. See how he likes getting abused !
But sadly, there are twisted women out there who get wet at the thought of fucking a felon!
Divorce among wealthy women is extremely common
Forcing the man to part with his property should never be a part of future divorce. This is malicious
Love your channel..

Excellent video. I am also a surgeon. I feel there is a little known fact about some persons with so-called “A-type personality” who aspire to the pinnacle of their careers, to high political office and many are company CEOs. Mohammed has features suggestive of NARCISSISTIC PSYCHOPATHY. Professionally, I have meet a number of people just like him. Often highly driven high achievers. Detached and incapable of genuine empathy. A degree of professional distance is required in order to be a good surgeon. Mohammed and personal like him, while they thrive at work often have a chaotic personal lives. This says something about ‘work environments’. Kudos 💐❤️⭐️🙏🏾🇬🇧

How sad
I liked your in sight on the aspects of social media
She should have left him the moment he raised his hand to hurt her , ladies take this as a warning men usually dont change ways most of the times when they're violent , just leave for good .
It's a typical manipulation case. These men (and women) can be very clever and using tactics to get their victims to come back or remain by their side. I should know. It happened to me. The b'stard used every tactic to manipulate me and made out I was going mad. Thankfully a sharp-sighted colleague witnessed me being verbally abused and got me aside to management, who told me to get help. I found the strength to call my mum and dad (divorced but amicable). When I was told at work to "f off out the effing house and never come back" (before his usual "I'm sorry - let's talk" - usually that ended with either a verbal tirade or worse), I decided enough was enough - this time I had my key. My parents picked me up, took me to safety, and then when the ex was out at his night-shift, we returned along with my brother and his friends to get my cats and possessions out of that place. It's been just over eight years since I escaped him, and I won't look back now.
@@KittyKatt_Luna80s I get it and I fell sorry for it but the right thing to do is leave their ass at the first sign , if I was a woman I wouldn't be with someone like that just leave and protect your self .
@@TWIXTIMA0 Right, but you aren’t a woman and you’ve never been in such a situation. There is a reason is typically takes a partner several attempts of leaving an abusive relationship before finally being able to do so for good. The psychology behind abuse and trauma is very complex. Every likes to look at a traumatic situation and say “I would have done better.” And I’m sure those victims said the same about someone else at some point in their lives. You can never know until you are in it.
@@TWIXTIMA0 You don't know what you would do because you've never been in that situation and all the circumstances that surround it. Once you're in it, then you can come and talk to me (who has been there) and tell me what I should have done better. Until then, just keep your pretty little mouth shut and watch from the sidelines.
