Man jailed two months for slashing wife's lover
SINGAPORE: A production worker from China who caught his wife cheating on him and slashed her lover in a fit of anger has been sentenced to two months' jail.
29-year-old Zhuang Minhai had felt unwell on 26 April this year so he went home early despite being on night shift.
He got home at about 8.30pm and caught his 29-year-old wife in bed with 22-year-old Zhang Zhiyang.
Zhuang punched the victim on his back and ordered the younger man to leave.
But Mr Zhang stayed.
Zhuang then got two choppers from the kitchen and swung it at Mr Zhang.
Mr Zhang was slashed on the third swing.
The court was told that Zhuang paid the victim S$4,000 for medical fees and another S$5,000 as compensation.
He could have been jailed up to six years and fined up to S$10,000. - CNA/xq
