“I can’t continue to live under the same roof with this woman, she wants to kill me.
“There was a little misunderstanding between us, she ran to the kitchen and picked up a knife to stab me, luckily I escaped.
“I had to scale the fence, to escape from her.
“I beg this honorable court to put an end to the marriage between me and my wife before she kills me,” he said.
