Fujairah: A 28-year-old man was jailed for three months, fined Dh500 and will receive 80 lashes after the Fujairah Appeal Court found him guilty of assaulting his wife, drinking alcohol and attempting suicide.
The Emirati was arrested after his wife called up the police to complain that she was being assaulted.
After arriving at their house, police discovered that the accused had attempted to suffocate himself in one of the rooms by discharging gas from a cylinder.
Police also suspected that the husband was under the influence of alcohol and a medical test later confirmed their suspicion.
The Emirati was charged with assaulting his wife, drinking alcohol and attempting suicide and the Fujairah Criminal Court found him guilty of all three charges.
The suspect chose to appeal the decision, but the convictions against him were upheld.
