This is the moment cops arrest a jealous ex-husband accused of murdering his estranged wife who is the mother of his two children by stabbing her 18 times on a busy street in broad daylight.

Ainagul Khairullina, 30, had dumped him after years of abuse and got a job so that she could provide for herself and their two children because she knew she could no longer rely on him.

But she is now dead and was buried by her friends and family in the city of Oral in North-western Kazakhstan yesterday (21st April).

Ainagul’s ex-husband and father of her two children, who were not named, allegedly stabbed her 18 times outside her office on Urdinskaya street in Oral on Monday (19th April).

The authorities reported that Ainagul’s ex-husband called her and asked if she could meet him outside of her office for a chat.

One of the victim’s colleagues told police that Ainagul left the building in a very calm and normal manner.

However, approximately ten minutes later several screams were heard on the street and another colleague rushed into the office informing everyone that Ainagul had been stabbed multiple times by her ex-husband.

An ambulance arrived and transferred her to the hospital where she died shortly after arriving as a result of her injuries.

Her ex-husband was identified as a suspect and arrested by local cops shortly after the incident.

The victim’s sister, who was not named, told local media outlet Nur: “We buried Ainagul. She was a beautiful, gentle and kind woman who took great care of her children.”

She added: “Her ex was an extremely jealous person and he must be severely punished for what he did.”

Nur reports that the victim had left the husband after he repeatedly physically abused her and has since been the sole provider for their two children.

The suspect is being held in preliminary detention whilst the prosecutor investigates the case which is being treated as a homicide.
