One month before his arranged marriage in India, project supervisor Murugaiyan Selvam was bashed on the head with a dumb-bell, allegedly by his married lover.
Sri Lankan Tharmalingam Puwaneswary, 33, who was working as a maid here, was also said to have used a sharp object to stab his groin.
Mr Murugaiyan, 32, died after the attack which took place in 2009, and Tharmalingam is now on trial in the High Court for culpable homicide.
The maid, who is said to be suffering from schizophrenia, was originally charged with murder.
