Husband 'Deliberately Wounds Himself' to Conceal Wife's Murder
A Syrian man has conspired to murder his wife in collaboration with a compatriot with the aim of marrying another woman and achieving financial gain, the Internal Security Forces announced on Wednesday.
“Today at 4:10 am, an Infiniti SUV was involved in a shooting on the Fast Metn Highway,” the ISF said in a statement.
The vehicle was carrying Syrian nationals M. J., 26, his wife F. A., 26, and the driver M. B., 29.
The incident resulted in the death of the woman as her husband received a gunshot wound to the thigh, the statement said.
“Following intensive investigations, and in less than 24 hours, the Intelligence Branch managed to unveil the circumstances of the crime,” the statement added.
It said the husband and the driver have confessed to “plotting to murder the wife and get rid of her for financial motives and with the aim of allowing the husband to marry another woman.”
“The driver opened fire from a pistol at the wife before firing a gunshot at the husband to conceal the crime and give investigators the impression that it was an armed robbery,” the ISF added.
“They were both arrested while the pistol used in the crime was seized,” it said.
The Fast Metn Highway had witnessed several armed robberies in the past.

The time has now come to show the way out for the Syrians in Lebanon, now that Syria's defacto borders are being drawn out, every Syrian should now have his ideological side to go to and settle. In Lebanon they are no longer refugees, but economic opportunists, let them go, and go now!!
