The fate of an Ottawa man who admitted to murdering his estranged wife and stabbing his daughter in broad daylight in 2021 is now in the hands of a jury.

The fact is not disputed that Hamid Ayoub intended to kill his estranged wife Hanadi Mohamed when he stabbed her 39 times outside her Baseline Road home before stabbing their daughter who was coming to her mother’s aid. What a jury will have to decide is whether it amounts to first-degree murder and attempted murder.

Over the course of the trial, court heard Ayoub stabbed Mohamed when she was returning from getting groceries with their daughter on June 15, 2021. When their daughter tried to intervene to help save her mother, Ayoub stabbed his daughter 12 times. The stabbing only stopped when she played dead, the jury heard.
