A police spokesman said Menaga was still in the Kluang Hospital intensive care unit.
“Too much blood was lost. The victim is still in coma since yesterday and under intensive care at the Kluang Hospital,” he said.
It was understood that Menaga and her 47-year-old unemployed husband had gotten into a fight yesterday after she returned from work as a kitchen cleaner in Singapore.
As she was about to leave the house, her husband slashed her then chopped off her feet and hands. He slashed her several more times, then left her bleeding profusely in the porch of their home.
He then drank pesticide and hanged himself from the balcony of their double-storey house.
The incident occured before the eyes of their only 10-year-old son and the man's mother about 11am.
