A  married woman in Egypt’s Shariqa governorate is accused of helping kill her husband with the help of her lover, who was all set to flee to Italy when he was nabbed.

The wife who was in an illicit relationship with her neighbour wanted to settle down with him. So the duo hatched a plan to do away with her husband, reported Al Youm Al Sabea’a.

As pre-decided, one night as her husband lay fast asleep, she invited her lover over. She allegedly helped him sneak into their room and murder her husband.

Soon after he left, the 25-year-old woman put on an act. She yelled out in desperation alerting her neighbours, and faked a story about thief breaking into their home and murdering her husband.

Neighbours who found the body lying in a pool of blood informed the police immediately.

However, investigations revealed her extra-marital affair. Police nabbed the woman’s lover as he was on his way to the airport to flee to Italy.

Both have been referred to the Public Prosecution and have confessed to the crime.
