Following an Interpol order: Swedish authorities recently managed to arrest Ibrahim al-Razal, the suspect in the murder of his wife, the Lebanese model Zina Kenjo.
According to Attorney Ashraf Al-Mosavi, the representative of the murdered woman's family, the order came following the decision of the Lebanese judge Rasan Aweidat in Al-Razal's case, after Hala left the country and fled to Sweden. Kenjo was strangled to death in February 2021 in her home in the town of A- Sandiana.
At the same time, social networks were in an uproar over the rampant violence against women in Lebanon, and surfers demanded an end to the phenomenon through deterrent laws and more effective punishment mechanisms.
At the same time, a recording attributed to al-Razal was leaked to the media in which he allegedly said that he did not intend to kill his wife, but to "silence her".
The family's lawyer said that the model had previously been subjected to violence by her husband, and had even filed an official complaint against him before she was murdered.
Al-Mousavi added that Kenju was actually in the midst of divorce proceedings from her husband, and against the background of all this, her family is placing the blame on the suspect - who has not yet been investigated or tried in the context of the case.
In 2014, the "Law for the Protection of Women and Other Family Members from Domestic Violence" was approved in Lebanon, but human rights organizations believe that the law is flawed, and that women are still vulnerable within the framework of marriage.
