| | | Man shoots wife thinking she is a monkey
[B]KUALA LUMPUR (Sept. 22) - A Malaysian man shot and killed his wife after he mistook her for a monkey picking fruit in a tree behind their house, the New Straits Times said on Wednesday.
The man, 70, is being held by police for causing death through recklessness after he fired a shotgun at what he thought was a monkey in a mangosteen tree on Monday, the newspaper said.
His wife, 68, had used a ladder to climb into the tree and was picking the tropical fruit when she was shot. She was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital, the paper said. The couple lived in central Malaysia and had raised 13 children.[/B]
That's sad that he thought she was a monkey. :confused: |

| | | Yeah, I can totally see how you could mistake your wife for a monkey...
You'd think he would yell at the "monkey" first to scare it away. |

| | | Totally. He was 70 though maybe he had some mental problems or he really just hated his wife.

| | | You better shoot that monkey before it steals all the fruit. I couldnt imagine how bad he feels (unless he did it on purpose) Oops I shot my wife. Maybe he was drunk. |

| | | /\ That's a lame attempt at being funny.
This is just a freak accident. Is it customary in Malaysia to shoot monkeys if you find one in your fruit tree? You would think the man would at least try to scare that "monkey" away first rather than fire a round at it and end up killing what really was his wife. |

| | | Well, I guess this guy no longer has a wife, not a big problem. He could always take one of the nine wives off that guy in sfft_2108's other thread.

| | | This guy was probably had some mental problems. Unless this took place at night, there is no reason this should of happened. Not seeing that its your wife, thats pretty bad. |
