Indian man stabs wife to death in UAE

An Indian man in UAE allegedly stabbed his wife to death after a heated argument, according to a media report.

The 43-year-old man, identified as U.C, killed his wife C. Vidhya Chandran, 39, after a heated argument in a car park in Al Quoz here on Monday, the Khaleej Times reported.

The Dubai-based couple's daughters, aged 16 and 5, live in Kerala with the victim's parents.

The woman's brother Vinayachandran said that his sister was supposed to arrive on Tuesday to celebrate Onam with them.

"I had spoken to her just two days ago and she sounded excited about coming home for Onam and seeing her children. I still cannot believe she is no more," Vinayachandran was quoted as saying by the news report.

He said their parents are "devastated" after hearing the news.

"How can we console them? They are asking many questions about her for which I don't have any answers," he said.

He said that the family came to know about the incident through the victim's colleague who told them that "he (husband) stabbed her in a car park in Al Quoz and that he is in police custody now. We don't know what happened exactly."
