Strolling through a park, Uday spotted a young couple. He called out to the young woman, but the pair walked on, pretending not to notice. Affronted, Uday grabbed the woman by the arm and declared, “You’re much too good for this simple man.” (Her companion was wearing the uniform of an Army captain.) The woman stammered that she had been married only the day before. Uday’s guards promptly dragged her to a hotel room, where Uday raped her as the guards watched from the next room. Latif, who says he witnessed this scene, says he heard the woman scream. He went to the balcony and saw her half-naked figure lying in front of the hotel entrance six floors below. Her husband, who cursed Uday, was executed for “defamation of the president.” It is impossible to confirm Latif’s story, but Iraqi media reported the execution of the husband, Saad Abd al-Razzek.
