CAIRO: An Egyptian television presenter killed his wife after a domestic argument in which she accused him of having an affair, a police official said on Monday.
Ehab Salah, a news anchor for Egyptian state television, called police after he shot dead his 35-year-old wife, Magda Waheed, at their house in Cairo and confessed to the crime.
Waheed was angry that Salah had come home at 3:30 am (0030 GMT) and quizzed him over whether he was still having an affair with another woman.
"When he said yes, she slapped him… He ran into the bedroom, got out his handgun and shot her in the head," her sister who was at the scene told police.
"Police arrived to find her lying in a pool of blood… Salah was arrested at the scene," the official said.
