BRAZIL Long-standing marital disagreements and frequent arguments ended with the death of both spouses. During one of the arguments, the man, in a fit of rage, stabbed his wife to death. When the adrenaline wore off and he realized what he had done, he decided to end it all and took his own life as well. He hanged himself from a ceiling beam right next to the bed where his dead wife was lying.
