Domestic Violence Shocks Moroccan Village: Man Surrenders After Allegedly Killing Wife

Relatives and residents of a small village near Azrou are still in shock since the announcement of the death of a woman. The victim was slit by her husband and an investigation is currently underway by the gendarmerie.

The facts are reported by the 2M channel, which reports the death of a woman slit by her husband. The couple had been going through difficult times for several months, according to relatives interviewed by the channel. After slitting his wife’s throat, the man called his brother and then went to the Royal Gendarmerie station to turn himself in.

"My brother called me. I was working with my other brother in the fields. He just told me that he had just slit his wife’s throat," his brother recounts to the media, showing the traces of blood in the couple’s bedroom.

Another relative mentions repeated disputes within the couple. The victim had left the marital home for several months and her husband had begged her to come back, which she finally did.

Today, two young children are left without their mother and, according to the family, the man has been suffering from mental disorders for some time.
