An Afghan man has stabbed his wife to death because she worked for a non-government organisation (NGO) outside the home, police said after arresting the suspect in the western province of Herat.
"Kulsoom was stabbed eight times by her husband on Friday afternoon because she was working," provincial police spokesman Noor Khan Nekzad told AFP.
"We have arrested the murderer, Abdul Rahim, who killed his wife," Nekzad said.
The couple had been married for six years and had two children.
