AN Egyptian man was alleged on Tuesday to have tortured his wife and shaved off her hair, both with a barber’s electric shears, after she asked for more money to spend on the home. The woman, appearing bald at a police station here, filed a police report alleging her 32-year-old husband used the tool to shave her head and administer shocks to “sensitive parts of her body.” The woman, who only gave her first name Howeida, claimed her husband Mohammed went to borrow the tool from a friend who is a barber after he became angry when she asked for extra money. It was not immediately clear what action the police would take. – AFP
