Story here. Excerpt:

"A Gurkha serving at Sandhurst is fighting for his life after his throat was slit by his wife at the military academy.

Detectives are looking at whether the soldier's own Kukri blade - a traditional Gurkha weapon - was used in the attack.

The 40-year-old was last night described as being in a serious but stable condition, while his 42-year-old wife was detained under the Mental Health Act.

It is believed the couple's 10-year-old daughter witnessed the bloody attack on her father. Following the incident, paramedics rushed the stricken soldier to Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey."

Note to non-Brits: The Royal Regiment of Gurkhas is a unit of the British Army. A remnant of the British Empire, it consists of soldiers from Nepal in the Himalayas. They are renowned for their toughness, and they retain their traditional tribal knives as well as using modern weapons.

Looks like the excuses are already being prepared.

Almost every time a woman is accused of murder she is treated as a victim. Again in the UK a woman who has been charged with murdering 2 of her young children, and attempting to murder the third, is being detained under the Mental Health Act.

It is the Same. Old. Story. Women being treated as victims, even when they commit murder.
