A security source reported that the husband was arrested after the victim’s sister reported him, but he initially denied knowing anything about her disappearance. After intensifying the investigation, he admitted to killing her by strangulation, following disagreements between them. The source reported that the perpetrator confessed to cutting the victim’s body into 20 pieces and throwing them in containers that he had earlier identified to hide traces of the crime. He also got rid of her clothes, belongings and mobile phone; so the security forces did not find anything that belonged to her except traces of blood and hair in his vehicle. It is worth mentioning that the court asked the accused during the first session of his trial about deliberately killing his wife inside the marital home in Kairouan, but he denied it, claimed ignorance of her disappearance and that he did not know anything about her whereabouts.
