قصص دكتور محمد الجنابي - Iraq · Original language: Arabic
جريمة صادمة هزّت الأردن..بدأت بعقوق وإنتهت بكارثة ! | القصة الكاملة
Domestic Violence
The case involves a controlling and abusive wife who dominated her husband and caused family conflict, leading to neglect of the elderly mother and eventual poisoning of the husband. The wife's plan to marry off their daughter to a wealthy older man against the husband's wishes escalated tensions. The involvement of the daughter's fiancé in the murder plot highlights a complex domestic violence and control pattern.
Authorities linked the husband's sudden death and daughter's poisoning through hospital and security investigations. Autopsy and toxicology confirmed poisoning. Recorded phone calls revealed the wife's confession and the fiancé's involvement. Both suspects were arrested, tried, sentenced to death, with sentences later fluctuating before execution.
Initial medical diagnosis attributed Mahmoud's death to a heart attack without autopsy. Suspicion arose only after daughter's poisoning and subsequent autopsy. The involvement of the daughter's fiancé was unclear until phone call evidence emerged.
Mahmoud married Suad despite mother's warnings. Suad's controlling behavior caused family conflict and estrangement from Mahmoud's mother.
