Photos/Video: Angry wife & her group of friends strip her husband's alleged mistress in public before violently attacking her

A Chinese woman publicly punished her husband’s alleged mistress by stripping her and beating her in the street. Footage of the punishment shared online, shows the woman and her group of friends hitting and kicking the lady who they claim had been sleeping with one of their husbands.


In the video, the alleged mistress can be seen on the floor surrounded by the women and onlookers who did nothing to stop beating. The victim looked helpless with her top torn as the women beat her up. A woman, who was wearing a beige top can be seen pulling the mistress' hair and trying to slam her to the floor before slapping her repeatedly.

The women then start pushing the girl around and try to remove her clothes completely.  The victim tried to cover her breast with her top but it was immediately collected by one of the women who threw the top away. She then pulls her hair up so she can get a better angle for her photo, before hitting her on the head repeatedly. A Passer-by steps in to try and stop the assault but it doesn't have much effect as she is rebuffed. Others just watch the attack happen, with many filming the incident on their phones. It is not clear who the angry wife in the gang of women is, as they all took turns to beat her up.

The video which was uploaded onto Chinese social media site Weibo, shocked social media users who took to the site to criticize the group of women for their vile and vicious attack.

Istanbul terror attack: A mother's desperate search for her 13yr old daughter

Samira Mohamed Abdi was in transit in Turkey with her family when three suicide bombers attacked Istanbul's main airport, killing 41 people and leaving over 230 others injured.

She told the BBC Somali service that in the rush to hide after the first explosion, her 13-year-old daughter went missing:

 

"We could see the explosion - it was just in front of us. All of a sudden, we saw the security people running up and down and shouting. We all went into hiding in the cafe's store room – about 20 people in a small room. We locked ourselves in as we heard the gunshots, then we realised one of us was missing. It was my saddest moment. I couldn’t locate my daughter." The girl’s grandfather then rushed out to find her

"He went out while all people were lying on the floor and the gunfire was continuing. He was calling her by her name, ‘Aisha, Aisha! Where are you?’ He found shoes on the floor but they were not hers." He couldn’t see her – but 20 minutes later, Samira received a call:

"Fortunately, she was hiding somewhere else and she asked a Russian guy to call, and then there was the second explosion."

She said it took Aisha time to find someone who spoke English to help her, so she could get in touch.
