A Jordanian woman was sentenced to death in the capital Amman after she was convicted of murdering her husband and cutting his body to pieces which she stuffed in the fridge.

She then spent 12 days disposing of the pieces in nearby waste bins.

The woman, identified only as FA, confessed that she had no choice but to kill her husband on the grounds he turned her life into hell and turned the house into a brothel.

She said that she married him when she was 15 and that he was older than her by around 15 years, adding that she had a good marital life in the first few months.

Newspapers in Jordan said she told court that she discovered that her husband started to bring men and woman to their house and that when she told him about this, he rebuked her. He then started to beat her up and threatened to divorce her.

After telling her brothers, they had a fight with him and he was admitted to hospital with injures.

One brother was jailed while the husband later decided to move from Amman to the Southern Jordanian Red Sea port of Aqaba.

The woman told court that she decided to kill her husband for insisting on bringing men and women to their house although she had two children from him, saying that she wanted to protect the two kids from their father.

She said that she put poison in his food but that the poison was not strong enough and her husband escaped with light abdominal paid.

She then decided to buy stronger poison, which she put in omelet she prepared for him. After he ate it, he had sharp stomach pains before dropping dead.

The woman said that she cut his body into small pieces, stuffed them in plastic bags and put them in the fridge.

The next day, she took her children for a walk and dumped on bag in the public waste bin, she said, adding that she kept doing the same for 12 days before a dustman noticed the human organs and phoned the police.
