First he blindfolded his wife and taped her mouth, saying he had a surprise present for her. Then he cut off the fingers on her right hand, police say.
Rafiqul Islam, 30, a migrant worker in the United Arab Emirates, reportedly confessed after committing the crime in his home country of Bangladesh. “He was jealous because while he only had an 8th grade education, she was off to college to pursue higher studies” cops say.
Wife Hawa Akhter, 21, says her husband warned her of “severe consequences” if she didn’t abandon her studies.
Now she plans to resume studying with her good hand, although her fingers were thrown out and can’t be reattached.
