An Omani woman stabbed a 23-year-old man to death after he allegedly threatened to circulate her photos on social media.
The incident happened on Sunday in the Shahehet area of Barka province, 69 kilometres away from the capital Muscat.
An official of the Royal Oman Police (ROP), told Gulf News the suspect coaxed the victim into her family home, where she murdered him.
The slain Omani man had allegedly threatened to circulate personal photographs of the woman on social media.
“The suspect stabbed him several times in his stomach and chest with a knife,” said the official.
The victim died on the spot due to severe bleeding.
The official didn’t confirm whether the victim had blackmailed the woman for money or something else.
Four murder cases have been registered so far in Oman in 2017.
On April 5, an Indian woman in her 30s was arrested for fatally shooting her compatriot friend over an argument in Salalah province, southern part of Oman.
In March, a Pakistani national stabbed to death his compatriot in the Bada’a area of Suwaiq province.
The suspect confessed to his crime and said two had an argument under the influence of liquor.
In January, an Indian national stabbed his fellow Indian friend to death with a blunt object in Dhareez area of Salalah province, southern Oman.
Twenty-seven murder cases were referred to the public prosecution in 2016, up from 23 in 2015.
