Valentine’s Day is universally recognised as a day of love. Couples celebrate the day by exchanging gifts to show their love and appreciation for each other. An Egyptian woman too had similar expectations from her husband, and the situation took a very ugly turn when he was unable to accommodate her.
According to a source, when she saw that no gift was forthcoming, she walked out of the home she shared with her husband along with the couple’s two children. Following the incident, the husband, who has now been identified as Maghnam. M, committed suicide.

Two days later, the woman, who remains unidentified, attempted to call her husband several times, surprised that he hadn’t reached out to her. After finding that his phone had been switched off, she ran back to their apartment, where she found her his lifeless body. She also found a letter in which the husband apologized to her for “neglecting her”. The neighbours were alerted when they heard her screams.
Officers who arrived at the scene referred the case to public prosecutors, who eventually released the body to the family to allow them to lay him to rest.
In a statement to the authorities, Maghnam’s father said his son was facing serious financial troubles, which had contributed to marital discord, and due to which he had been unable to buy his wife a present. He also added that he didn’t suspect foul play and he wouldn’t blame anyone else for the incident.
