- DAMMAM: Police in Dammam are investigating the death of a 21-year-old Saudi woman who died at her husband’s home over two months ago, Al-Yaum newspaper reported.
The woman’s mother accuses her son-in-law of being responsible for her death and rejects claims that she committed suicide, adding that her daughter’s marriage was going through a rough patch.
The woman was given first aid by her husband after her alleged suicide before he took her to a hospital where she stayed in a coma for five days before dying. Why she committed suicide is still unknown. The woman’s body is currently at a morgue while investigations continue.
Her father told Al-Yaum that the nurse who treated his daughter told him she had marks and bruises all over her body and that his daughter did not commit suicide. He added that his daughter also had a bite mark to her cheek.
“They were constantly fighting and her husband is the reason why she died. They were arguing ever since they got married,” said the woman’s mother. “They separated for a while before reuniting again just one week before she died,” she added.
She also doubted her son-in-law’s claims that her daughter jumped from a third floor and called for an investigation into the matter. Dammam police refused to comment on the case, saying an investigation is still ongoing.
She said her daughter decided to go back to her husband because of their child and that she was surprised to receive a telephone call from hospital telling her that her daughter had been admitted there.
