At the time, he was in a relationship with a woman in Egypt and supporting her financially.<\/p>\n Mamdouh was abusive physically, psychologically and financially, affidavits tendered to the court last year claimed.<\/p>\n \u201cI would rather see you dead than give you a divorce,\u201d Mandouh once told his wife, brandishing a knife in his hand, those documents state.<\/p>\n Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty, then-leader of the NSW Police homicide squad at the time of Noufl\u2019s arrest, described it as a \u201cdomestic violence murder\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will allege also that she butchered and dismembered his body, placed his body parts in plastic bags and then disposed of his remains in various rubbish bins in the residential areas and industrial areas of south-west Sydney,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Support is available from the National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service at 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) or the Men\u2019s Referral Service on 1300 766 491.<\/p>\n Be the first to know when major news happens.
