A Lebanese court has set a date on October 11, 2005, where Lebanese singer Suzan Tamimi, her father, and an Egyptian businessman will be held on trial for the attempted murder of the singer's ex-husband Adel Ma'touq. Adel has accused the three of premeditated murder.
The trial comes after Adel had previously refused to accuse his proclaimed wife Suzan of attempting to assassinate him. An anonymous person had shot three bullets at Adel’s car as he was passing through one of the streets in Lebanon, but luckily he was not injured.
Adel had at the time stressed in a police report that he could not accuse Suzan of shooting at him because he did not see who made the shots, adding that he does not believe it is in Suzan’s nature to kill.
The police had wanted Suzan for questioning to see if she had anything with the attempted murder of Adel due to the problems that exist between her and Adel over their alleged marriage.
Adel is determined to have Suzan prosecuted and even detained, and has been haunting her for almost a year. The main reason being that Suzan had broken a contract between them. Adel, who owns a production company is determined to have Suzan pay for breaking the contract and has been trying to stop all her entertainment activities.
Adel also claimed that Suzan is legally married to him and he has the right to prohibit her from leaving Lebanon. Adel revealed that he owns legal documents that prove their marriage and insists on taking actions against the singer who has been running away from him.
