An angry Senegalese husband punched his pregnant wife after two hours of severe beatings.

Senegalese police said a man in his thirties beat his pregnant wife in her third month to death because she did not have dinner.

Aminata Ka, 22, returned to her home on the outskirts of the capital Dakar on Wednesday night after a series of medical tests.

It seems that the "hungry" husband invoked this argument, that is, not to prepare dinner, to beat her for two hours until she lost consciousness, according to Agence France-Presse.

Neighbors heard the victim's screaming, calling the police and calling them to the scene, but the police apparently arrived late, as the pregnant woman died before they arrived.
