Sharjah: A honeymoon became a nightmare when a man caught his wife in the arms of her lover and stab-bed them several times with a knife snatched from the complimentary fruit basket.
The two are in critical condition in Al Qasimi Hospital. Police have set up a security net around her room as the brothers of the woman have threatened to kill her for besmirching the name of their family.
The couple from Khor Fakkan, who had been married three days earlier, had checked into a Sharjah hotel on their honeymoon.
The 19-year-old apparently told her 28 year-old lover where they were staying. He came to her room when the husband was away. The lover is married with children. The lover was stabbed several times in his face and chest. The man also stabbed his wife repeatedly, police said. The incident occurred at about 4pm on Monday. The husband is free on bail.
