Husband charged with killing wife, throwing body into lake --------------- By Nadine El-Bawab (ABC News) 🔸A North Carolina man has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of his 34-year-old wife, who was found in Jordan Lake last month, according to the Chatham County Sheriff's Office. 🔸Omar Matthew Ibrahim Drabick, 34, has been charged with first-degree murder and concealment of an unnatural death in the killing of his wife, Hadeel Ghadhanfer Hikmat. 🔸Investigators believe Drabick killed Hikmat and then tossed her body off a bridge into Jordan Lake, according to Durham ABC station WTVD. 🔸Drabick, who was arrested Tuesday morning, is being held without bond in the Chatham County Sheriff's Office Detention Center. He is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 25. 🔸A boater at Jordan Lake found Hikmat's body on Aug. 29 in the vicinity of a boat ramp. 🔸Police were able to identify the victim as Hikmat through fingerprint analysis. Investigators determined that her death was not accidental or self-inflicted. 🔸On Sept. 8, the Chatham County Sheriff Office along with the Apex and Raleigh police departments, executed search warrants at two locations in Wake County known to be frequented by Hikmat. 🔸"Our thoughts and efforts are with Ms. Hikmat's family, and the other families who contacted us about their missing loved ones," said Chatham County Sheriff Mike Roberson. 🔸"These kinds of incidents are a reminder of the tragedy of domestic violence," he continued. "It's a scourge that affects far too many lives and causes immeasurable pain and suffering. We urge anyone who may be in an abusive relationship to reach out for help and support."
