Man kills wife for transmitting AIDS to him

Saudi police arrested an Ethiopian expatriate who killed his AIDS-infected wife for transmitting the deadly disease to him, a newspaper said on Saturday.

The unnamed Ethiopian stabbed his wife and dumped her body in a deserted area in the western Red Sea port of Jeddah before fleeing his home.

“Police later found the man hiding in another area and arrested him…he confessed  to killing his wife for infecting him with AIDS,” the online Arabic language daily 'Alsaudi' said.
