Gulf man tortures wife to death in Abu Dhabi

A man from another Gulf country is on trial in Abu Dhabi on charges of systematically beating and torturing his wife for months before she succumbed to her injuries.

The man confessed to police and the prosecutor that he had beaten up his wife with his hands, legs and a stick on the grounds she was not obeying him.

He later told court that one day he returned home to find his bed room in a mess, adding that he went mad and assaulted his wife.

“He said that he kicked and punched her and used a stick to beat her on the head and body until she died,” 'Al Khaleej' daily said.

His second wife, who is also standing trial, confessed that she had tortured that woman’s two children systematically. Medical examination showed that the little boy and girl were suffering from burns, bruises and wounds and that one of them suffered from a 40 per cent physical disability due to torture.

The criminal court charged the Gulf man and his second wife of premeditated murder of his first wife and of torturing two children. It adjourned hearings to December 8.
