Afghan woman to be extradited from US to Sweden on murder charges
International media reports state that a 25-year-old Afghan woman named Wajiha Qureshi has been accused of killing her secret lover in Sweden. She is set to be extradited from the United States to Sweden for trial.
The Daily Mail reported early Friday, November 1, that Qureshi, along with her husband Farid Waziri, allegedly killed a 37-year-old Afghan refugee named Abbas Hamid in March of this year.
According to the report, Qureshi had a secret relationship with Abbas Hamid, and when this affair was exposed, she accused Hamid of “sexual assault,” which was investigated by Swedish police.
Following the investigation, Swedish police released Abbas Hamid without any charges. His body was discovered in the forests near Stockholm in March, with his throat slit.
One day before the body was found, Wajiha Qureshi left her home in Sweden and traveled to the United States with her two children, using “fake” documents.
Swedish police have stated that they have obtained substantial evidence implicating Wajiha Qureshi and her husband Farid Waziri in this murder.
Farid Waziri is considered a dangerous individual and is wanted across Europe, though his current location remains unknown.
The case highlights the complexity of cross-border criminal investigations, especially when suspects flee to other countries using falsified documents. It underscores the challenges faced by international law enforcement in tracking and extraditing suspects.
