A tragic incident took place over the weekend in Lincoln Square, where a 35-year-old man, Nurmuhammed Inus, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder following the fatal stabbing of his wife, Mairunnisa B. Osman, 29. According to a report published by the Chicago Sun-Times, the couple's 12-year-old daughter witnessed the confrontation and informed police that her father fled the scene in a blue 2016 Honda after stabbing her mother during a fight late Saturday night.
In an unanticipated turn, Inus contacts relatives to inform them of his intent to turn himself in. He was arrested at the 20th District police station at 11:58 p.m. that same night. He was "on his way to the nearest police station to turn himself in," reported Inus' family to the police officers who took him into custody, as recounted by the Chicago Sun-Times.
Mairunnisa Osman was found with a knife in her torso and, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office, died from multiple sharp force injuries. She was pronounced dead early Sunday at Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston. The death was ruled a homicide, added the medical examiner's office. The report highlighted by the Chicago Sun-Times also notes that the couple had three other daughters, all under the age of 10.
Additional details about the incident were provided by ABC7 Chicago, which confirmed that the victim and the suspect resided on the same block where the incident occurred. The Chicago Police Department has alleged that Osman and Inus were engaged in an argument when the stabbing took place. Osman was discovered inside a home, suffering from a stab wound to her torso, before being transported to an area hospital where she later died. Inus is expected to appear in court on Tuesday, following his arrest.
