SINGAPORE: A 37-year-old woman has been charged with stabbing her husband while he was warded at the Singapore General Hospital.
Quek Chin Fern allegedly used a knife to hurt Lim Peng Kiang in the neck and shoulder in room 24, ward 43 of the hospital at around 8.30pm last Thursday.
It is believed the jobless woman then tried to commit suicide at around 3pm the next day by attempting to jump off a seventh-storey flat at Block 209, Yishun Street 21.
Quek is now remanded at the Institute of Mental Health and will be back in court next Thursday.
If convicted of stabbing Mr Lim, she can be jailed up to seven years and fined.
If found guilty of attempting suicide, Quek can be jailed up to a year and fined.
