The Ministry of Families, Women, Children and the Elderly condemned Wednesday, December 13, 2023, in a press release, the killing of a woman (42-year-old mother) by her husband in Bizerte, following a quarrel over the payment of alimony.

According to the ministry’s press release, the husband and wife are parents of three children (aged 10, 13 and 16). They were going through a divorce.

The husband strangled his wife to death and then escaped before being apprehended by the police. According to the same source, the victim was transported by her neighbours to the Bizerte Regional Hospital where she succumbed to his injuries. Her body is still at the disposal of Justice.

The regional child protection delegate in Bizerte went to the family’s home to take care of the children and provide them with psychological social support.
