MAZAR-I-SHARIF: 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 on
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.
