The motive behind the brutal act was allegedly that the perpetrator's proposal of marriage was rejected by the victim. In a disturbing turn, he chose to end her life, not allowing anyone else to have her hand in marriage.
This unfortunate event takes place in a time when Aden, the interim capital of Yemen, is under the control of armed factions, leading to an upsurge in crime rates in the city.
However, the security authorities in Aden swiftly responded, and the police apprehended the perpetrator. Images shared by activists captured the moment of his arrest, a day after he mercilessly murdered his 21-year-old female coworker.
