The Public Prosecution in 6th of October City continues its investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman by her ex-husband—a former judicial advisor—while she was with her current husband at the City Park promenade. The gruesome nature and unexpected details of the crime have stirred widespread public outrage.

The Suspect’s Confession: Long-standing Conflicts and a Bloody End
In detailed confessions, the suspect admitted that he had been married to the victim for 14 years, during which they had three children aged between 8 and 13. He stated that tensions escalated after their divorce in 2021, particularly when his ex-wife refused to let him see his children.
He later discovered that she had entered into an urfi (unofficial) marriage with another man, which enraged him and led him to seek revenge. He began monitoring her movements until he confirmed the time she would meet her new husband. Upon seeing them together in a car near a car showroom on the promenade, he drew a firearm (a handgun) and shot her.
The Husband’s Account: "I Couldn't Comprehend What Was Happening Until I Saw Her Covered in Blood"
The woman’s current husband—a car dealership owner—testified that they had been unofficially married for some time and that he was aware of the tense relationship with her ex-husband. He said he was sitting in the car with his wife when her ex suddenly appeared, brandished a weapon, and fired directly at her head, killing her instantly before he could react.
He managed to grab the attacker and called for help, with bystanders assisting in restraining the suspect until the police arrived.

Surveillance Cameras Capture the Crime
Investigators revealed that surveillance cameras in the area had captured the crime in detail. The footage showed the victim walking with her husband just before the attacker approached and fired at close range.
The prosecution ordered the retrieval and analysis of the footage. A team also went to the hospital to examine the body, which was later transferred to Zeinhom Morgue for autopsy to determine the cause of death and the weapon caliber.
Background: Deprivation from His Children and a Desire for Revenge
Police investigations in October City indicated that the suspect had been suffering from psychological distress and feelings of exclusion from his children after the divorce. Upon learning of his ex-wife’s unofficial remarriage, he began plotting the murder and waited for her at the promenade before executing the crime in cold blood.
Initial findings confirmed that the motive was purely retaliatory, driven by the victim’s refusal to allow contact with their children—a fact the suspect admitted during questioning.

Eyewitness Testimonies Confirm the Incident
Several witnesses reported that the suspect fired multiple shots at the woman and attempted to flee, but was apprehended and detained by bystanders until the police arrived and confiscated the weapon.
The investigation team also heard the husband’s statement, in which he stressed that the attack was completely unexpected and that the meeting with his wife had been peaceful until the killer appeared.

Police Report and Ongoing Legal Procedures
The incident began with a report to law enforcement about a murder in one of 6th of October City’s streets. On arrival, officers confirmed the killer to be the victim’s ex-husband, who was immediately arrested and referred to the Public Prosecution. He is currently in custody pending further investigation and legal proceedings.
