KOTA KINABALU: Not happy being dumped, a janda (divorcee) slashed her ex-boyfriend's hand with a paper knife during an argument at a condominium here yesterday.
In the 9.30am incident, the woman in her 30s had gone to the man's home in Sembulan to discuss about their break-up. It however turned into a verbal argument.
During the quarrel, the woman suddenly took out a paper knife and slashed the victim's hand.
It is learnt that the woman befriended the victim at a nightclub before they established a love affair. The relationship, however, ended in August, which was believed to be the reason of the woman's dissatisfaction towards the victim.
