An Ottawa man has been charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder for allegedly stabbing his wife and daughter in what police are investigating as an act of intimate-partner violence. Hamid Ayoub, 54, was arrested late Tuesday night after police believe he fatally stabbed his wife, Hanadi Mohammed, 50, and adult daughter. Just before 7 p.m. Tuesday, Ottawa police officers responded to the scene of the stabbing at a townhouse at 1814 Baseline Rd. Wife sought restraining order, friend saysAyoub and Mohammed have two adult children — a daughter who was injured in the alleged attack, and a son. In May, according to police sources, Ottawa police did respond to a 911 call allegedly involving an altercation between Ayoub and Mohammed.
