Man imprisoned for many years after attempting to chemically decompose his pregnant wife's body.

A heartbreaking and disturbing case was brought before a court today, revealing the tragic death of 19-year-old Arnima Hayat at the hands of her husband, Meraj Zafar. It was a shocking crime, one that left the entire community reeling with sadness and disbelief.

The court heard that Zafar, in a fit of rage, had taken the life of his pregnant wife by strangling or suffocating her. What made this horrific act even more difficult to comprehend was the motive behind it - Zafar was afraid that Hayat would leave him. It was a senseless and brutal act, one that has left many wondering how someone could be capable of such violence towards their own spouse.

The couple had been married in a private Islamic ceremony, without the support or presence of their families. It was a decision that would prove to be a tragic one, as Zafar had a history of controlling and violent behavior towards Hayat. He had even been the subject of a restraining order by Hayat's father, who feared for his daughter's safety.

Despite her young age, Hayat had confided in friends about the abuse she suffered at the hands of her husband. She had even considered going to the police, but unfortunately, never had the chance to do so. On the night of her death, she had reached out to a friend, expressing her desire to leave Zafar. But sadly, she was advised to stay with him, and the last communication she had was a heartbreaking message expressing her hatred for her husband.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, Zafar tried to cover up his crime by purchasing hydrochloric acid and attempting to dissolve Hayat's body in a bathtub. But his mother had discovered the body and called for help, leading to Zafar's eventual confession to the police. He expressed remorse for his actions, but it was too little too late.

Today, Justice Deborah Sweeney handed down a sentence of 21 years and six months in jail, with a non-parole period of 16 years. It was a small comfort for Hayat's family and friends, who will always be haunted by the loss of their beloved daughter and friend. We can only hope that justice will bring some closure to this tragic and senseless crime.
