A man has been jailed after he strangled his wife of 42 years and threatened to kill her after she refused to have sex with him because he was drunk. Ha Tang, 68, left his wife "in utter fear" and unable to sleep after he strangled her three times on March 24.
The assault started when he called her into the living room and asked: "Why don't you want to have sex with me?" Wales Online reports how Cardiff Crown Court heard that after she refused he became angry and accused her of having a boyfriend and called her a "ho".
Tang, from Barry, continued to shout and swear at the victim, slurring his words and stumbling around. Prosecutor Nik Strobl described how Tang followed his wife upstairs and turned off the power and the water. The victim called her son and he became even angrier.
