A woman in a rural area of Jingzhou city, Hubei province, killed her husband after he refused to divorce her.

The 44-year-old husband, surnamed Pei, lost his ability to work six years ago because of a brain disease and his wife became the family's sole breadwinner, taking care of her parents-in-law and two sons.

However, she recently fell in love with another man and proposed a divorce to Pei, who refused.

The woman then strangled her husband with shoelaces, and cut his throat with a kitchen knife.
