Brutal husband with Uma in hotel (7)
I believe the answer is:
inhuman
'brutal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'husband with uma in hotel' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'hotel' becomes 'inn' (inn is a kind of hotel).
'h'+'uma'='huma'
'huma' going into 'inn' is 'INHUMAN'.
(Other definitions for inhuman that I've seen before include "Without compunction" , "Nasty" , "Unfeelingly cruel" , "Cruel, barbaric" , "diabolical ..." .)
