An Iraqi man ran over his wife to death with his vehicle, following a family dispute between them in the Al -Mahawil district in Babylon Governorate, before fleeing the scene of the accident, according to the Erm News website.
The Babylon Police Command stated, in a statement, that a security force managed to arrest the perpetrator after his implementation of the crime, in cooperation between the police detachments.
Investigations showed that the husband followed his wife after an argument inside the house, and tried to escape, but he broke her very quickly, and left her on the side of the road, to leave the immediate life.
According to the statement, the accused admitted during the investigation of the crime, and legal measures were taken against him in preparation for referring him to the judiciary.
This crime comes in light of a remarkable escalation in the cases of domestic violence in Iraq, as human rights organizations have registered hundreds of cases that have ended in killing or suicide, amid demands for the approval of the broken family protection law for years.
