According to AKP Mukhlis, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit at Ogan Ilir Police, the violence was triggered by the husband’s anger at his wife’s constant posting of selfies on Facebook.
“The suspect got emotional because the victim frequently uploaded narcissistic photos on Facebook,” AKP Mukhlis said on Monday (3 Nov).
