Husband chops off wife’s hand during argument

BALIK PULAU: A 24-year-old woman's left hand was chopped off by her knife-wielding husband during an argument on the third floor car park of an apartment block in Bayan Lepas here.

The 39-year-old man fled in his car after the incident but his freedom was short-lived as the police arrested him outside a surau near Macallum Street Ghaut, three hours later.
