Mum Knifes Children
A Sanaa mother knifed 2 of her children to avenge herself on her husband who has been away working in Saudi Arabia for the last 4 years. She heard that he is going to marry another woman.
Waking up on the day of the crime, the mother burned her money, gold, and personal documents. She then used a kitchen knife to brutally slaughter Ahmed, 4, and Abdulmalik, 6. Somya, 5, and Afrah, 10, managed to run downstairs to tell their uncle who lives with his family on the ground floor. The killer mother has no recollection of the murders.
