An Afghan man has been on trial since Monday for attempted murder of his spouse and rape. He is suspected of stabbing his wife eight times and leaving her for dead because she wanted to live like a European.
A 31-year-old Afghan man has been on trial since Monday for attempted spousal murder and rape. As Le Parisien reported on Wednesday, December 4, the man named Naceer is suspected of stabbing his wife Fakhria eight times in the chest and one thigh with a knife on May 7, 2022 in Noisy-le-Sec in the Seine-Saint-Denis department. The victim was reportedly left for dead. She claimed to be a victim of domestic violence and was at her cousin’s house at the time of the serious attack on her. The trial of her husband ends on Friday December 6.
After suffering horrific hardship under the Taliban regime, this young Afghan couple came to France with Naceer’s uncle in 2021. The relationship between the young woman and her husband became strained when Fakhria started wearing shorts and jackets and attending a French course. ‘He demanded that she dress a certain way and wanted her to stay at home,’ the defendant’s uncle reported. Despite his uncle’s advice, the nephew persisted. ‘She wants to be European. I don’t want that,’ he said.
When she could take it no longer, the woman attempted suicide and so did the husband. Fakhria then began to report the domestic violence against her, although her husband denied the incidents and no charges were filed.
Finally, on May 7, 2022, Naceer’s uncle received a call from Fakhria’s cousin. ‘Naceer killed Fakhria,’ she said. The victim’s body was ‘ all covered in blood’. Worse still: Naceer was cheered for his deed by relatives in Afghanistan. ‘He was celebrated as a hero,’ the uncle reported. One of Naceer’s brothers even urged him to ‘finish the job’ and ‘kill Fakhria’. For the Afghan diaspora, the sole reason for the violence was that ‘Fakhria was meeting another man’, so it would have been right for Naceer to attack her.
Hmmm. I’m missing something…. It ends with the woman being killed because she was “meeting with another man.” Who was it? Until then, it was just her and her lowlife husband.
