You don't get many Brits accused of murder here..... especially expats of 30yrs vintage.... and pre-mediated murder at that.

Really? Prominent and distinguished rich British expat murders his society wife, with a hammer, in their plush house Dubai's rich expat enclave and you don't see why it's absolute catnip for the Anglo news services?

What I found interesting was the extremely different approaches taken by the local Anglo press. Given Arabian Business' hyper-aggressive approach it sounds to me like there may be somebody there who was pissed off by the protagonist at some point.

32 years with someone only to batter them over the head with a hammer.

Makes me feel sick inside. How could you do that?

Clearly a crime of passion

Been married to Mrs Shed for 33 years and together for 35. I can't imagine anything in the world that would make me hurt her. f

What if she???? poured a pot of boiling oil on your head? Or???
cut your penis off when you were sleeping? Or??? tied your mum to the railroad tracks?
Are you iggles in disguise (I know you aren't cos he's in New Zealand), but really, if you want to troll piss off somewhere else. (Oh the irony).

Only he said he 'threw' a hammer at her head.... and 'didn't mean to kill her'....

Who's to say he didn't just whack her over the head?

And if she was sleeping (as reported), then it's not like they were arguing is it..... So whats more likely, he comes in from work with his trusty hammer on his belt and whacks her on the spur of the moment OR he see's her, decides to kill her, goes off and gets the hammer and then comes back and throws it / whacks her or whatever. By leaving and coming back it would be considered as premeditated.
