Recently, it was reported that a man in the Jempo district, Malaysia, lost it and threatened to kill his wife and their children when she refused his attempts at intimacy.
According to reports, the 57-year-old man tried to have sex with his wife at home but was rejected. In his anger, he went berserk and smashed many things at home, including vases, plates and bowls.
His wife had refused him as she had filed for divorce and the couple were slated to appear in Court. After the incident, the wife made a police report and the man was arrested on the following afternoon.
