Gulf Today Report

Jordanian police arrested a husband who killed his wife while she was in the operation room on Tuesday morning, preparing for a surgery at Al-Bashir Governmental Hospital in Amman.

The spokesman for the Public Security Directorate stated that the husband, an Arab, stabbed his wife several times with a sharp object, which led to her death immediately.

The security official confirmed that the relevant authorities had opened an investigation into the incident.

According to informed sources, the wife was in the hospital for a surgery on her jaw after her husband broke it about a week ago as a result of attacks that left bruises in different parts of the body.

The husband claimed that he wanted to visit her in order to raise her morale before the operation, but as soon as he entered the room, he took out the tool he was hiding, and kept attacking her until she breathed her last.

There was information about family disputes between them that escalated recently.

The man has been arrested and all legal measures will be taken against him.
