Kajang: It was a fatal affair for a technician when he succumbed to his injuries after his wife *allegedly splashed acid on him for having an affair.
The 48-year-old man, identified as G. Manimaran, died at Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) – a day after he was purportedly attacked by his 50-year-old wife in Taman Megah, here, on Tuesday.
Kajang police chief Asst Comm Willey Richard said the victim was rushed to the Kajang Hospital by his 19-year-old son at about 2.55am but was referred to the HKL.
Manimaran suffered 60% burns and was warded at the intensive care unit before he died on Wednesday at about 9pm.
Police have reclassified the case as murder and the woman, who works as a waitress, has been picked up to facilitate investigations.
Checks found that the woman too sustained minor burns on her hands.
“She claims that the husband was the one who tried to splash acid on her during the argument.
“She said she managed to fend off the attack and it (the acid) fell on her husband instead.
“We have handed over the evidence to the chemistry laboratory for further examination. We’ll know who splashed the acid,” he said, adding that the suspect was currently remanded until Saturday.
ACP Willey said police believed the attack was motivated by *jealousy.
Apparently, several days prior to the incident, the woman had checked her husband’s mobile phone where she uncovered the affair.
ACP Willey said, according to the couple’s son, the pair had always fought with each other over the issue.
It was also believed that the woman had tried to make her husband end the three-year relationship but to no avail.
