According to a report by

It was gathered that the couple who are both lawyers, are said to have no children between them, but the man has 3 children from another woman.

An insider disclosed that after the wife stabbed her husband to death, she also stabbed herself, but was however rescued and rushed to a hospital where she has since been stabilised.
