Husband Attacked Wife and Fired Gunshots at Her Marital Disputes Escalated, Ending Wife’s Life in Minutes Accused Sentenced to 20 Years of Hard Labor

The Grand Criminal Court issued a verdict against a man convicted of killing his wife after subjecting her to abuse and violence. He shot her three times with a licensed handgun in front of their children, sparking widespread outrage and anger among social media users following the shocking details of the crime.

The sentence was handed down in a public session, with the court ordering the accused to 20 years of hard labor after proving the charge of premeditated murder. The ruling was based on the case’s evidence and facts, detailing events before and after the crime.

Background of the Incident and Victim’s Actions

The court confirmed that the victim was the wife of the accused and that ongoing marital disputes had escalated over time due to physical assault and mistreatment by the husband, which led her to leave the marital home.

Before her death, the victim took several legal steps, including filing an official complaint against her husband with the Family Protection Department, and submitting civil lawsuits to the Sharia Court, including separation and conflict, alimony, and child custody cases.

Planning and Execution

According to the court’s ruling, the accused tried to persuade his wife to return home, but her refusal fueled anger and resentment, leading him to plan her murder. He prepared a 9mm Jaus handgun, legally registered in his name, and went to the house where the victim lived with her children.

Details of the Crime

The court’s ruling recounted that the accused knocked on the door, entered the yard immediately, attacked the victim by hitting her with both hands, pushed her toward the fence, and struck her head against it. He then knocked her to the ground, pulled out the gun he had prepared, and fired three shots at her head in front of her young children, leaving her covered in blood before calmly leaving the scene.

After the incident, the accused handed the gun to his brother in another governorate. Neighbors rushed to the house upon hearing the children’s screams and transported the victim to the hospital, but she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Forensic Report

The forensic report indicated that the victim suffered three fatal gunshot wounds: two to the head and face, and one to the left arm, causing catastrophic brain damage and resulting in her death.

The verdict sparked widespread public reaction, with social media users expressing outrage and anger over the gruesome crime witnessed by children, calling for harsher penalties for domestic violence and stronger measures to protect victims.
