Iago convinces him that his wife Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio, his lieutenant. Thus, enraging him and blinding him with jealousy. These thoughts eventually cause Othello to kill Desdemona and fill him with hatred towards Cassio.

In Act II Scene 1, when Iago and Emilia arrive with Desdemona in Cyprus, Cassio greets Emilia with a kiss. Iago says, "Sir, would she give you so much of her lips as of her tongue she oft bestows on me, you'd have enough." He accuses Emilia of being a nag. However, what we see of their relationship in this scene and any other where they are together (especially III, 3) the shoe is on the other foot. It is Iago who is constantly verbally abusive to his wife. In the best productions of the play, Emilia reacts as an abused wife would react, which is totally consistent with the text, and gives her final denunciation of Iago the sense of a liberation from tyranny.

He doesn't kill her "in the book"; he kills her onstage in Othello and Desdemona's bedroom, the scene for the final scene of the play.
