An Afghan prisoner murdered his wife
during a conjugal visit, allegedly because
she had been unfaithful after he was
jailed for killing her relatives, police said
Wednesday.
Din Mohammad was sentenced to 20
years in prison two years ago for killing
his mother-in-law, and his wife's brother
and sister in the northern province of
Samangan.
Mohammad's wife, whose name has not
been disclosed, visited him in jail in the
provincial capital Aybak on Monday and
was found dead in a small private room
used for inmates to see their wives,
police said.
Mohammad confessed to her murder,
Samangan police chief Ikram Nikzad told
AFP.
"Mohammad was told by his mother that
his wife had affairs," he said, citing a
police investigation.
"When she came to visit him in jail he
strangled her with her veil and killed
her. They were meeting in a private
prison room," he said.
Mohammad's mother has been detained
for questioning, Nikzad added.
According to a UN report last month,
Afghanistan has made progress in
protecting women against violence, but
many still suffer horrific abuse 11 years
after a US-led invasion brought down the
Taliban regime.
Afghan women still endure killings by
relatives in the name of family honour,
forced marriages and domestic abuses.
There are fears that legal protection and
other gains made by women will be
eroded after NATO and the United States
withdraw most of their 100,000 troops
by the end of 2014.

na whah ooooo

I think the wife was rather silly.
Her husband killed her mother, brother and sister...yet she still paid the husband a conjugal visit.

Make una see foolishness o!
