Humans can be cruel at times, but it gives us the willies when a loved one commits an unspeakable act. This is what happened to Zainab Bibi, a woman who murdered her husband.
Residents of a Pakistani community were irritated by a foul odor coming from one of their neighbors’ homes a few years ago and called the police to investigate. The police discovered a man’s body that had been half cooked and cut up.
When his body was discovered at his home, his wife, 32-year-old Zainab Bibi, was arrested on suspicion of homicide. They were attempting to turn it into korma, an Asian soup made of meat and spices, to dispose of it quickly; she was suspected of murdering her husband with the assistance of her nephew.
Ahmad Abbas had already attempted to have sex with Zainab Bibi. She had tried to stop him from grabbing her daughter’s hands at times. However, there was a limit because Ahmad Abbas continued to have relations with her stepdaughter.
Because Ahmad Abbas had crossed some redlines in order to protect her daughter, Zainab Bibi had no choice but to assassinate him. She murdered Ahmad Abbas before dismembering him into 51 pieces. She was attempting to determine where she would bury his body when she decided to cook him and then throw his korma into the rivulet.
After being apprehended and questioned by police, Zainab Bibi later admitted that she did it because her husband wanted to have a physical connection with their daughter. This appears to be a valid defense, but because the man is not present to defend himself, we only hear one side of the story and have no way of knowing whether it is true. When her case was finally heard in 2018, she and her accomplice were sentenced to life in prison.
