A MALAYSIAN WHO THOUGHT HE HAD FATALLY STABBED WIFE KILLS HIMSELF

MARANG, Malaysia -  A municipal Council labourer took his own life after he had stabbed his wife and believed she was dead in Kampung Gong Beris here.

Mohd Dzulkifili Ismail, 28, was found in a pool of blood  in his house by his brother at about 6am on Wednesday.

The wife, Sofia Talaha, 26, however, survived the stabbing and is admitted at the Hospital Sultanah But Zahirah in Kuala Terengganu.

State CID chief Asst Comm Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Hamzah said Mohd Dzulkifli was believed to have stabbed his wife after an argument broke out.

He said a knife, believed to be the weapon used to attack the wife, was found beside Mohd Dzulkifili's body.

"We are investigating the motive of the incident. There are other aspects  that  we  are  looking at 
including financial burden and what 
the argument was about," he said.
