Chicago – US: A Chicago woman, Sania Khan 29, who posted videos on TikTok about the trauma of a relationship gone wrong resulting in a divorce, was killed by her ex-husband. The incident took place in Chicago, when Sania Khan was ready to leave Chicago and heading to Tennessee.

The woman was making a new life when her ex-partner travelled 1100 KM to kill her

The man travelled more than 1100 KM to his ex-wife’s home and fatally shot her before turning the gun on himself after she opened up about her divorce on social media. The husband, identified as 36-year-old Rahel Ahmad, later killed himself with a gun.

As officers knocked on the door, they heard a single gunshot and a verbal groan, the reports state. Once inside, they found Khan unresponsive near the door with a gunshot wound to the back of the head and dried blood on her face, the source said.

 The pair were going through a divorce

Ahmed was depressed and travelled to Khan’s home to salvage the marriage. According to Khan’s posts on her TikTok account, her marriage lasted less than a year before she filed for divorce.

The 29-year-old Sania Khan talked about her healing journey and marital struggles on the platform, urging other women to not ignore the red flags in a relationship.

Going through a divorce as a South Asian woman feels like you failed at life sometimes. The way the community labels you, the lack of emotional support you receive, and the pressure to stay with someone because ‘what will people say is isolating. It makes it harder for women to leave marriages they shouldn’t have been in to begin with. The first few months of any divorce journey is the darkest, you are not a failure because your marriage did not work out
