Aussie Muslim stabbed his wife 57 times, gouged-out right eye, two amputated fingers because she didn’t return and live under sharia in Yemen

What this woman endured.

An honor-killer husband who wanted to fight for IS in Syria once sliced his wife’s hand because she refused to read a book about sharia law, a court has heard. Sabah Al-Mdwali was found dead in their home with 57 stab wounds, right eyed gouged out and two fingers amputated. He did this in front of their three young children.

Where are the feminists? Where are the marches of Muslim women demanding equality under the sharia?

The couple married in Yemen in 2005 and had three children, who were aged seven, five and ten months, at the time of their mother’s death.

A male relative told Melbourne Magistrates’ Court that the alleged killer had told him on more than one occasion of his desire to fight for IS in Syria, and that this had caused conflict with his wife.

“He plainly told me that he wants to fight and this country is not for us,” the relative said.

“He gave her a sharia law book and she said, ‘I don’t want to follow it’ and then he sliced her hand.”

“He told me that his wife doesn’t leave the house. She leaves the house once every six months and that’s with him,”

AN ACCUSED killer husband who wanted to fight for IS in Syria once sliced his wife’s hand because she refused to read a book about sharia law, a court has heard.

The young mother-of-three was found in bushes in the suburb of Broadmeadows in June last year and her husband was later charged with her murder.

A male relative told Melbourne Magistrates’ Court that the alleged killer had told him on more than one occasion of his desire to fight for IS in Syria, and that this had caused conflict with his wife.

“He plainly told me that he wants to fight and this country is not for us,” the relative said.

“He gave her a sharia law book and she said, ‘I don’t to want to follow it’ and then he sliced her hand.”

Police documents tendered to the court say the wife’s objection to her husband’s Jihadist interests may have led to his slaughter of her in front of their children.

She was found by a jogger wrapped in plastic wrap, a quilt and electrical tape, with injuries including a gouged-out right eye and two amputated fingers.

The relative gave evidence in line with police allegations that the accused exerted strong control over his wife and was physically violent towards her.

“He told me that his wife doesn’t leave the house. She leaves the house once every six months and that’s with him,” he said.

He said she always stood behind her husband in the presence of other men and wore full face and body coverings.

During a visit to their relative’s house, his wife had told him the woman unveiled herself revealing a bruised eye.
