A 16-year-old boy stabbed his sister to death after her husband told him he suspected she was having affairs, Lebanon’s police said, quoted by Daily Star.  

Police said Suad Zaim Sheikh, a 22-year nomad, was stabbed to death by her brother at 2 am on Saturday. Sheikh, who sustained several stab wounds, bled to death after she crawled out of her tent in the Arida area near the Lebanese-Syrian border to call for help.  

The body was discovered by Akkar police, who were notified after nearby residents heard a child wailing, said the paper.  

Sheikh was reportedly sleeping next to her 3-year-old son and her father when her brother came in, put his hand over her mouth to muffle her cries and stabbed her.  

The juvenile was not identified in the report – Albawaba.com
