He explained that when she opened the gate he first started to slap her before angrily grabbing her neck and strangling her to death.

He says, “I returned home in the morning of March 2, 2023, and was knocking at the gate, but my wife did not open immediately. In that anger, I started shouting at her.

“I first slapped and hit her from the gate to the house before angrily grabbing her on the neck and strangling her to death. I couldn’t believe what happened because I never expected that such actions would lead to her death.
