Gulf citizen kills Filipina wife for getting pregnant

A Kuwaiti man beat his Filipina wife with a stick to death after learning she was pregnant, saying she violated their agreement when they got married.

The unnamed man had told police he found his wife dead when he returned home from work in the capital Kuwait City but forensic examination showed she had been beaten.

“After coming under pressure during interrogation, the man confessed he had beaten his wife with a stick after she told him she was pregnant,” Al Anba daily said.

“He said they had agreed that she will not get pregnant and to live with him and two children from his first Ethiopian wife….the man told investigators that he did not mean to kill his wife but that he got mad when he learned she was pregnant.”
