ANN/THE STRAITS TIMES – A man tried to take his own life by slashing his throat after allegedly choking his wife to death following a heated argument yesterday.
A neighbour, who heard the couple quarrelling loudly earlier, found the woman’s body as well as the man lying on the floor of their rented room in a Jalan Pantai shophouse at about 5.30am.
Kota Kinabalu police officer Mohd Zaidi Abdullah said the police believe the victim, who was in her 20s, was killed by her 30-year-old husband.
He said there were bruises on her neck, believed to be caused by strangulation, as well as injuries on her forehead.
He added that the police found the husband unconscious in the same room with what they believe are self-inflicted slash wounds on his neck.
