Filipino gets 15 years for killing pregnant wife
The Dubai Court of First Instance has sentenced a Filipino to 15 years in prison after he was found guilty of murdering his wife, R.L., on suspicion of infidelity. He will be deported on completion of his jail term. The victim was a live-in housemaid with a British family.
According to court records, the accused decided to kill his wife, a housemaid, because he suspected the child that she was carrying in her womb was not his. The couple had quarrelled over the issue several times.
On the basis of his confessional statement to the police, the prosecution alleged that the accused confronted his wife at her employer’s house, while her employer was away. He grabbed her by the neck and strangled her while banging her head against the bathroom wall which resulted in her death. During the struggle, the victim bit his fingers, resulting in injuries to the accused’s fingers. The accused could not give a convincing explanation to the police for the injuries.
After committing the crime, the accused fled through the window, the court was told. A criminal laboratory report later established that the defendant was the biological father of the baby, who died along with his mother. The court found him guilty and sentenced him to 15 years in jail to be followed by deportation. Source
