The family came to the
Netherlands from Iraq 11 years ago after fleeing the
Saddam Hussein regime.
According to Nos tv, the man was arrested in July
for repeatedly assaulting his wife but was released
in January. He had been banned from going within 5
kilometers of Zierikzee and was under the care of a
psychiatrist.
According to local paper Wereldregio, the woman was
terrified of her husband.
“In Iraq we fled from Saddam. I cannot flee any
more. So what can I do?” the paper quoted her as
saying in January.
