KUWAIT: Following a fierce fight with his wife during which he stabbed her several times, a Sri Lankan jumped from his ninth-floor apartment in Hawally to his death yesterday. Security sources said neighbors reported hearing the fight, and when the couple's voices died down, they thought that they had stopped fighting, until they heard a loud thud resulting from the man's body hitting the ground. The husband died instantly, but the wife was found alive and was rushed to Mubarak Hospital in critical condition.
