Second crime in 72 hours | Woman and two men kill her husband in Misyaf in Hama

Hama province: SOHR activists have reported that residents have found the body of a young man dumped in an irrigation canal near Al-Mahrosa village in Misyaf countryside western of Hama, after his wife informed the local authorities that he went missing a few days ago.

According to reliable SOHR sources, the local authorities investigated in the crime and suspected that the wife was involved in his death. She later confessed to committing the crime with two young men for 2,000,000 Syrian Liras and stole his motorbike, where the victim was beaten by a hammer on his head until he died.

It is worth noting that this is the second crime in Hama in less than 72 hours, where on June 18, SOHR activists reported that a young man had been found slaughtered by a sharp tool in an uninhabited building in the eastern neighbourhood of Selmiyah in the eastern Hama countryside.
