Clarksville murder suspect out of hospital, in jail

The Clarksville man accused of stabbing his estranged wife to death Saturday is out of the hospital and is in jail.

Clarksville Police say 40-year old Hamid Houbbadi was served with a warrant for criminal homicide and lodged in the Montgomery County Jail.

As previously reported, Houbbadi allegedly used a knife to kill 41-year old Leila Chanane at a Bellamy Lane residence.

Officers arrived to find Houbbadi with knife wounds on his body that appeared to be self-inflicted.

Police say the suspect and victim were not living together at the time of the attack and there had been a history of domestic violence by Houbbadi.
