When accused pleaded guilty, SubInspector Martin said that accused and his wife had apparently had some drink, the accused more than the wife. They had some difference, and accused attacked his wife, wounding her in the throat with a razor. A wonjan heard shouting from both parties and intervened. Fortunately, she got the wife away from accused and t!bok her to her home. Subsequently, the sub-inspector added, the injured woman was taken to hospital.
