A man accused of attempting to murder his wife allegedly stabbed her in the arm in a drunken attack that left the blade lodged so deep it had to be surgically removed, a court has heard.
The man, who is aged in his 40s and has not been named to protect the alleged victim's identity, faced the start of his ACT Supreme Court jury trial on Tuesday, June 16.
He has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and property damage, as well as four alternative charges of choking, making a threat to kill, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and inflicting grievous bodily harm.
