The Daily Star BEIRUT: A Kuwaiti court Sunday sentenced an Egyptian man to death by hanging for stabbing and killing his Lebanese wife, local media reported. The man, said to be in his 40s, was sentenced for stabbing his wife multiple times in front of their children in August 2017. He later turned himself in. The man justified the murder by saying he saw two men descending a ladder from their house when he returned from work. He said his wife denied that anyone had been there and threatened him with a knife, which led him to “defend” himself by taking the knife away from her and stabbing her to death. Neither the defendant nor the victim were identified in the reports.
