Woman arrested for plotting to have husband killed
A Lebanese woman was arrested after she allegedly attempted to hire two strangers to kill her husband, a statement from the Internal Security Forces reported Tuesday.
The woman, identified as M.D., born in 1987, allegedly offered two Syrian men - N.B., born in 2000, and M.I., born in 1994 - $10,000 to kill her husband. She also offered to rent a car and buy a machine gun for them to carry out the job, according to the statement
When N.B. and M.I. learned of her plans, they immediately notified the targeted Lebanese husband, F.K., born in 1980, who then agreed to move somewhere safe while the men tricked the woman into thinking they were carrying out the operation.
After paying N.B. and M.I. the agreed amount in cash and fake checks on Feb. 12, she reported her husband missing in order to brush off potential suspicion.
While hiding out, F.K. filed a complaint Thursday against his wife and accomplices, which lead to their arrest.
During interrogations, the woman reportedly admitted to attempting to hire the two as hitmen and instructing them to burn her husband’s body and dispose of his remains in a valley in the Chouf to conceal the evidence, the report said.
The ISF also said that M.D. confessed to having an affair with a Lebanese national named as T.D., born in 1987, and sharing her plans to murder her husband with him.
All of four suspects have been arrested by the police unit in Baabda and investigations are underway.
