‎20-year-old Maymoona from Akkar another woman victim of domestic violence ‎

It seems that the mitigated sentences against domestic violence culprits were not deterrence form ‎further atrocious crimes. The day before yesterday, a horrific killing incident took place in the ‎Kesrwan area of Quleiat. The victim, Maymoona Ahmad Abu al-Aaila (20 years) was found ‎dead at her home after being repeatedly beaten by her husband, Mohamad Ta7hesh (24 years) ‎from the town of Karkaf in Akkar. Investigations has further revealed that the perpetrator has ‎likely used sharp instruments to kill his wife. Within hours of the crime, the information branch at ‎the Internal Security Forces managed to arrest the suspect in Tripoli as he tried to escape in a car ‎and he is currently being questioned by the competent authorities. During the funeral held for the ‎victim, the enraged family and people of her hometown, Fnaydek, called for maximum penalty ‎against Ta7hesh to ward off potential assassins.  In this respect, the communication officer at ‎Kafa, Enough Violence and Exploitation, Maya Ammar, told As Safir newspaper that the ‎organization has proposed to Maymoona’s family all means of assistance at hand in legal and ‎media matters. “What we want is to achieve justice by bringing criminals accountable,” adding ‎that “this should constitute a moral and legal deterrent for any other aggressor”.
