He's a convicted murderer, maybe show either his mugshot or a pic of the victim that doesn't show her smiling with her killer? You need to do better.

Hope we never cross paths

Woman who spend money and travel there should be ashamed.

Well...it's Dubai.

No surprise. Women don’t amount to much in Gulf Arab countries. Dunai UAE UK London

Interesting comments and reactions. If the sentence was not reduced, comments would have criticized the harsh sentence and unfair treatment. Now that it is reduced, they are talking about women's rights. People, please carry your crimes in your own countries, please 😂

Oh snap! I never knew piersmorgan was an editor?!?

Was this part of Jared's portfolio?

So much for women's rights.

Monster deserves no quarter for the rest of his life!

They’ll probably end up just punishing him for not carrying out the murder in the approved manner.

The title doesn’t match the story.

White male, sounds about right.

Wait, what?

I thought that was piersmorgan in the pic.....

Women don't have worth over there.

Ummm how can ‘killing your wife with a hammer’ be considered manslaughter 🤷‍♀️🙄

Oh it was the husband who killed the wife. Oh no I have been an awful fool, please take my apologies and half of the original sentence. Imagine being punished for killing a woman. This is the UAE after all.

I hope the countries like Dubai and Saudi Arabia that piss on women’s rights and treat us like dogs most days don’t expect our tourism dollars. And for women that do support these places with your travel dollars 🤬 you for supporting this misogyny and collective crime on women.
