LONDON: A Jordanian woman was stabbed to death by her husband in Sharjah, UAE on Friday, local media reported.
The 20-year-old woman was stabbed 15 times following a dispute with her husband, according to Sharjah Police.
The suspect, who fled in the victim's car, was arrested on a beach within two hours of the crime. Col. Faisal bin Nassar, the head of Sharjah Police CID, said CCTV footage from the young woman's residence parking lot showed the suspected killer attacking the woman inside her car.
After the suspected attacker was seen leaving in the vehicle, police were able to trace it and found the victim's body inside it.

Following the incident, people took to Twitter to express their outrage.
One user tweeted: “The World is no longer safe for us women.”
Another wrote: “Now tomorrow who is the next victim?”
Only two days prior, a female student was killed by a male shooter inside a private university in Amman, Jordan.
