Husband beats wife to death for defying 'orders'

By Samir Salama, Bureau Chief

Abu Dhabi:

A man beat his wife to death because he says she "disobeyed his orders and looked out of the balcony", a police source said.

The incident occurred at midnight on Friday. The Syrian man has been arrested and charged with the 20-year-old woman's murder.

The man, a hairdresser, was returning home from his shop at around 10.30pm, when he saw his second wife, also Syrian, looking out of the balcony of his flat on the first floor.

He got angry, rushed to his flat and started beating her all over her body.

The woman's screams forced his first wife who lives in the same flat, out of bed and she tried to stop him. However, he overpowered her and continued beating his second wife up for half an hour until she fainted.

The 30-year-old man called an ambulance but paramedics found his wife dead.

The accused told police he had not meant to kill her.

"I just wanted to discipline her after she disobeyed my orders. She died while I was hitting her for daring to look out of the balcony," he is said to have told interrogators.

"I used to beat my wives but I never thought that beating would kill any of them. It was just my way of disciplining them," he said.

His first wife told police she had tried hard to stop him but he had beaten her and pushed her away.

"He continued to beat her for almost half an hour before she died," she said.

The accused has been referred to the prosecution on charges of beating his wife to death.

Well, she was looking out the window. The "religion of peace" can't have that.

God have mercy on the man who raises his hand to me. He would get his on the spot or by God he would never be able to sleep again.

Why would any woman want to become a Muslim???

Man, they fine you two goats for beating one of your wives to death. I bet he's pissed at her for dying.

"I know feminazis who go out with Middle Eastern men and accept being beaten."

Why would they do that? To show how open minded they are or becuase deep down inside they want a "Take Charge" kinda guy?

The only thing surprising about this article is that there are male Syrian hairdressers.

I thought it was that there was a male hairdresser who was married. To a woman. Two of them, even.
