Violence against women: A man murders his wife and buries her in the garden

41 year old B. Kh. confessed to murdering his 27 year old wife some 10 days ago and then burying her in their home garden in Nabatieh.  B. Kh. confessed after the internal security undertook a dig of the garden in the presence of the Nabatyeh district attorney, Ghada Abou Karrum.  According to the statement issues by the ISF, the perpetrator confessed to killing his wife because of “personal and family disputes”.
The local newspapers had noted that the murder would not have been uncovered had it not been for the victim’s aunt who had reported her missing to the police.  When calling on the husband, the police was wary of his contradictory answers and also noticed that flies were gathering around a specific plot in his garden.
