Alpha Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Malaysian man shot and killed his wife after he mistook her for a monkey picking fruit in a tree behind their house, the New Straits Times said on Wednesday. The man, 70, is being held by police for causing death through recklessness after he fired a shotgun at what he thought was a monkey in a mangosteen tree on Monday, the newspaper said. His wife, 68, had used a ladder to climb into the tree and was picking the tropical fruit when she was shot. She was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital, the paper said. The couple lived in central Malaysia and had raised 13 children.Man, this is just sad. How can you mistake your wife for a monkey? He seriously needed to get his eyes checked again.

Alpha Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 flocking bastard Why would he want to shoot a monkey anyway ?.I hope his kids beat the crap out of him for killing there mother.I have to agree, what kind of sick person would want to kill a monkey? Would you want to kill this... .. It's a poor innocent creature, what harm did it ever do to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 It's kind of funny, because it leaves him wide open for mean-spirited old people jokes, but really, someone should probably shoot his kneecaps out for wanting to harm something like a monkey.

ugenn Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Going by the description, they are most likely farmers (not many ppl living in the city in M'sia own guns if you're wondering why so). So yes, monkeys do disrupt their livelihoods by stealin fruits and crops. They have every reason to shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Many people have probably said and thought about this already, but I just have to say.... How can someone mistake his own wife for a monkey? I mean come on, was she excessively hairy or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
