Saudi police arrested an American man for murdering his Sri Lankan wife at an air base in the Gulf Kingdom and dumping her body in a nearby field, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

Officials at the Prince Sultan air base in Kharj near the capital Riyadh had reported the woman missing, prompting police to conduct a search campaign and monitor the movements and phone calls by her husband who also works at the base, Sabq Arabic language daily said.

“Police moves led to the arrest of her husband who confessed to murdering her with the help of a friend working at Saudi Aramco,” the paper said.

The body of the unnamed woman, who had worked as a technician at the air base, was found dumped in a large metal tube in farming field. (Emirates24/7)
