The Lagos-based James Uguru was said to have become suspicious of the wife’s,Jacinta's alleged promiscuity following rumours making the rounds on the matter in the community whenever he visits home to see his family.
It was learned that trouble started when the couple was discussing in the sitting room and suddenly a phone started ringing in their bedroom. As the husband made to go for the phone, his wife held his waist, preventing him from moving.
Vanguard gathered that as he was being prevented from entering the bedroom, the wife’s alleged lover ran out from their bedroom. His wife’s insistence that he should not chase after the man made him vent his anger on her. A source said:
