There are some strange news to read around the world, but a shocking news came from Egypt, where a man in the capital Cairo threw his wife down from the fifth floor of an apartment because she had contracted the corona virus.
According to Arab News, the 25-year-old woman survived and was rushed to a hospital by neighbors where she underwent spinal surgery while her husband was arrested and police are investigating the matter.
The man told police that the couple had been arguing and wanted to separate, and the matter escalated when the woman fell victim to Corona.
"I was afraid of being affected," he said. My wife took three tests which came back positive and when I asked her to leave the house she refused and I pushed her away.
Authorities are now waiting for the woman to recover so they can record her statement.
Ali Maziad, an orthopedic surgeon at Cairo's Ain Shams University Hospital, said the woman's condition was "critical" and that it could take several months for her to fully recover. The incident marks domestic violence around the world, including in Egypt, during the lockdown.
Psychologist Norman Jade says the lockdown has left people unable to go out and confined them to their homes, leading to an increase in violence.
"We are all in a boat and facing an unseen enemy," he said. So we have to live together in these situations.
