QORYOLEY, Somalia – On Friday afternoon, a young man brutally killed his wife in Qoryoley district, Lower Shabelle region as another wife was burned to death in Mogadishu.
The husband allegedly used a sharp knife to kill his wife after a row between the couple.
The security forces quickly arrested the man who killed his wife, and the officials said that they were investigating the shocking incident, which left the locals in panic and shock.
The tragic murder comes hours after a mother of 6 orphaned children died from serious burning injuries sustained days ago in a fire set by her jealous husband in Mogadishu.
The horrific killings that are happening in Somalia have been increasing in recent years, and there is no action to bring the culprits to justice because of the weak security forces.
Luul Abdiaziz was working as an employee at Aden Abdulle International Airport. She was an expectant mother. Doctors did not succeed in saving her life and her unborn baby.
There have been such killings in different parts of Somalia that have left a sense of sadness and grief that cannot be forgotten. The Somalis are demanding justice for the slain women.
