— “The victim would often leave her husband’s house and he “once caught her committing adultery with another man,’ the source said, citing the suspect’s initial testimony to the police.”
— ” ‘Her husband sent her back to her family’s home two weeks before the incident and she left the house for an unknown destination,’ the source explained.”

— “He stabbed her to death and then headed to the nearest police station, the source noted.”
— “A postmortem examination conducted by pathologist Ali Shotar from the North National Institute of Forensic Medicine indicated the woman died of internal bleeding as a result of multiple stab wounds to her stomach, chest and back.”
— “Shotar established that the victim was nine months pregnant with a boy, with the foetus also receiving stab wounds, according to the source.”
— “The mother of three children, aged between three and eight years, was the 21st victim of a so-called honour crime this year in the Kingdom. She is the second woman to be killed for reasons related to family honour this month.”
