AFTER being stabbed, Salma Mustapha continues to experience night terrors from the incident which gave her 30 stitches across the stomach, hands and chin.
The housewife was assaulted by a neighbour in Felda Jengka Dua, Maran, Pahang on April 6, Kosmo! reported.
“She would wake up and shout – don’t stab me and don’t kill me,” her husband Shamsudin Bahran told the Malay daily.
“I still remember how she was drenched in blood. It’s something I will never forget,” he said.
According to Shamsudin, his wife is also too traumatised to look to the surrounding areas of the incident.
He said they have yet to muster up the courage to speak with the family of the suspect, who lives nearby.
In the incident, Salma and a teenage boy were assaulted by a knife-wielding man following an altercation.
