A HUSBAND reportedly tortured and then killed his wife because she “did not know how to cook couscous.”
The 47-year-old from Switzerland has been sentenced to life in prison for slitting his wife’s throat and attacking her so savagely that she could only be identified by her dental records.
The killing happened in April 2010 after the man raped his partner, from whom he was separated.
He believed that his wife was not capable of looking after the pair’s two daughters, aged 9 and 12 at the time, and thought she was having an affair
The Swiss court earlier heard that the man tied his wife to a bed, gagged her and stabbed her in the back 15 times before shooting her in the face with an air gun.
He then strangled her and slit her throat.
The man, who has not been named, then sat down with his daughters after killing his wife and shared a meal.
He reportedly laid next to his wife’s dead body before turning himself into police the next day.
On top of his life sentence the man was also ordered to pay each of his daughters 80,000 francs ($98,000) in damages because they have no family in the country.
In handing down his sentence the judge described the man had displayed “barbarism, cruelty and determination” by his actions.
Under Swiss law, the man’s life sentence will mean he can request conditional release after serving 15 years in jail.
