A 47-year-old woman has been prosecuted after stabbing a man to death, allegedly because he got her hubby hooked on mahjong, Shanghai Daily reports, citing the People’s Procuratorate of Pudong.
The woman, surnamed Zhang, is said to have blamed the victim, surnamed Ren, for getting her husband addicted to mahjong, and for covering up for him when she would try to get her husband to come back home. According to prosecutors, Zhang stabbed Ren in his left armpit on October 23 last year, after he refused to help her find her husband.
Mahjong is an ancient Chinese tile game which is often seen being played by old people at parks and which rarely involves death.
