Khaberni - A verbal dispute between a newlywed couple in Egypt turned into a tragic incident, after the wife stabbed her husband in the chest with a knife following a disagreement over attending an iftar invitation at his family's home.
The incident, which occurred in the city of 10th of Ramadan in Sharqia Governorate, resulted in the husband, 27 years old, sustaining a serious penetrating wound. He was subsequently transported to the 10th of Ramadan University Hospital, where his health condition was described as critical and unstable.
Preliminary investigations reported that the wife (25 years old), refused to go to her mother-in-law's house to accept the iftar invitation during Ramadan, which led to a verbal dispute between them that escalated into a fight.
Investigations indicated that the husband assaulted her, and she retaliated using a knife and inflicted severe injuries on him.
Police investigations clarified that the couple had been married for only a month before their disagreements escalated to this crime.
The security forces were able to apprehend the accused wife, and investigations are ongoing with further details to be presented to the Public Prosecutor's Office to uncover the circumstances of the incident and to take necessary legal actions.
