LIMA, PERU When the man found out that his wife was unfaithful to him, he reacted somewhat impulsively. He grabbed a knife and stabbed her to death. He then unsuccessfully tried to commit suicide by slitting his throat. But he was too much of a coward to go deep enough. He was still alive when the police arrived on the scene.
