TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A Taiwanese woman returned home from Iraq Saturday (August 31) with her baby son after her Iraqi husband had been arrested there on suspicion of having murdered her parents in Taipei last April.
The man, Ali Hammad Jumaah, 31, had met the boy’s Taiwanese mother during her studies in the United States, and the family later settled in Japan. After allegations of domestic violence, her 70-year-old parents brought her and her little boy back to Taiwan.
However, last April, Jumaah suddenly showed up at their home in the Taipei City district of Shilin. Police later found the elderly couple strangled to death with a towel. The man had fled the country with the one-year-old boy and later sent a Line message to his wife telling her he had reached Iraq.
Police in a Kurdish-controlled region of northern Iraq reportedly arrested Jumaah as a murder suspect last month, and were planning to send him to the Iraqi capital Baghdad, the Liberty Times reported Saturday. [FULL STORY]
