Young man dies after being stabbed by wife in Port Moresby

A young man from Western in his 20s has died over the weekend in Port Moresby after being stabbed several times on his upper thigh and genitals by his  wife.

Eyewitnesses at the scene said the wife stabbed him after an argument over a huge amount of money that the wife allegedly spent without him knowing about it. He was rushed to the Port Moresby 

General Hospital where he remained in intensive care until his passing late Sunday evening.

The wife is still in hiding and police are urging her to surrender herself to them for her own safety and that of her family, due to possible retaliation from the young man’s relatives and friends.

The dead young man and his wife are both children of police officers.
