Moroccan Woman Kills Husband Over WhatsApp Infidelity Suspicions

A woman from Sidi Bennour was placed in detention at the Sidi Moussa prison after killing her husband, whom she suspected of infidelity.

In search of proof of infidelity, the woman would have asked her husband to check the WhatsApp messaging application on his phone, reports Assabah. Faced with his refusal, an altercation took place, and the husband broke the device by throwing it to the ground to prevent her from consulting it. It was at this point that the situation degenerated, the woman having seized a knife present on the premises to deliver a fatal blow to her husband.

Given her pregnancy and her state of shock, the Attorney General of the Court of Appeal of El Jadida avoided a reconstruction of the crime. According to sources close to the investigation cited by the newspaper, she should be prosecuted for "assault and battery resulting in death without the intention to give it", the weapon of the crime being found at her husband’s workplace.
