Acid wife's death fall

An enraged wife who received a telephone call from her husband's alleged mistress shortly after the married couple made love, ran into the shower to throw acid over him before plunging 24 floors to her death.

The semi-naked body of the 29-year-old woman was found on the podium of Po Lam Estate, Tseung Kwan O.

Her husband, 31, was in critical condition in United Christian Hospital, suffering from acid burns.

The wife had taken a call from a woman who had asked to speak to her husband, claiming she was his lover.

After being splashed with acid, the husband chased his wife, who reportedly went to a window and plunged from the flat as he tried to pull her back.

The man, a cross-border lorry driver, then called police.
