SHAH ALAM: A man was believed to have slashed his wife several times on the Kesas Highway in front of Gravit 8 Condominium, Kota Bayu Emas, Klang, near here, this afternoon.
He later was found unconscious in his car, covered in blood, after he was believed to have harmed himself with a knife, said South Klang District Police chief ACP Cha Hoong Fong.
He said police received a report about an incident involving a man stabbing a woman at 1.41 pm, and investigations found that the victim and suspect were a local married couple.
“At around 1 pm, the suspect and the 49-year-old victim were in a car on the way to a restaurant when a disagreement occurred between them before the suspect stopped the car on the roadside.
