Man in UK who murdered his wife claimed she left to return to Afghanistan
A man in England was found guilty for killing his wife to tell the police that he had left him for another man and planned to return to his origin Afghanistan.
Zobaidah Salangy, 28, disappeared on March 28, 2020. His body was found almost six months later, buried in the forest near Bromsgrove in Worcestershire. The police cannot determine the cause of death given the length of time when the corpse was buried. It was bound and wrapped the blanket that matched the pillow at the victim’s house.
Her husband, Nezam Salangy, 44, was sentenced to Tuesday at the Worcestershire crown court for his murder. His siblings, Mohammed Yasin, 34, and Mohammed Ramin Salangy, 31, were found guilty for helping to cover up the crime.
Salangy initially told the police, his wife, “Has come out to run and never return.” He said he had left him for “new boyfriend” and “intending to leave England – he hated – and returned to Afghanistan.”
But the prosecution, led by Simon Denison QC, told the court that the couple had “argued bitterly” the night before disappearing. Salangy recorded several ranks on his phone and in the recording, Zobaidah was heard saying “Continue to shoot for eight years he ruined my life.”
His black wallet was then found hidden on the shelves -crashing at her husband’s prego pizza restaurant in the city of Bromsgrove, where the couple lived, along with his phone, SIM and cash wrapped in bubble wrappers. The second phone was also found, which Salangy used to make an arrangement with his two siblings to hide the murder. His fingerprints were found in a box containing both cellphones.
The court heard that Mohammed Ramin Salangy traveled more than 90 miles with a taxi from Cardiff to help his brother hide the corpse.
The prosecutor said that the police who were looking for Zobaidah began to dig near the village of Worcestershire in Bentley under April 2020 but failed to find a corpse and left a search. The officer who was “sure he must be there” continued the search in October and finally found his body.
The jury heard that Zobaidah was a mathematic teacher in his home country Afghanistan before her husband’s marriage in 2012 in a marriage that was arranged and moved to England the following year. He has taken English lessons in night schools and plans to continue his career as a teacher or become a midwife.
When he left the dock, Salangy, who will be sentenced to his brothers in June, told the investigation of the police officers who were present at the court, “You frame me.”
