AMMAN — Police on Wednesday arrested a man who allegedly shot and killed his wife in the capital’s Jabal Taj suburb earlier in the day, official sources said.

The 28-year-old woman was shot at her home at around 2:00pm, purportedly by her husband, Public Security Department Spokesperson Major Amer Sartawi said.

“We still do not have a motive for the incident and we are questioning neighbours and witnesses,” Sartawi told The Jordan Times.

Criminal Court Prosecutor Issam Haddid has started questioning the suspect and witnesses to determine the kind of charges, and whether other people were involved, a judicial source told The Jordan Times.

“For the time being the victim’s husband is in police custody pending further investigation,” the judicial source said.
