A man has admitted to stabbing and strangling his wife to death in Baalbeck after he allegedly caught her having sex with two men, who then aided the killer in burying the woman.

Syrian national M.H., born in 1985, admitted to murdering his wife, a Syrian woman identified as Sh.H., born in 1986.

Her body was found buried in the town of Boudai last Wednesday.

After his arrest, M.H. confessed to the crime, claiming he killed Sh.H. after discovering her having sex with two men.

It was found that out of fear of being killed [by M.H.], they helped him dig a hole and place the body in it.

One of the men, a Syrian national identified as A.M., born in 1989, was arrested, while the ISF is still searching for the second accomplice, Syrian national I.N.

When her body was found, a security source identified the 32-year-old woman as Shoueil al-Humeid, before details on her murder emerged. Local farmers found the body partially buried in the Hawsh Tal Safieh area.
