“We took her to the hospital later in the evening, only to be pronounced dead.
According to him, he was accused of poisoning the wife and was later picked up by the police with the pot of soup.
“About 30 minutes later, my mother and my in law came over and instructed that I take the soup to the police station because some people were accusing me of poisoning my wife. I sat at the back of the counter with the soup throughout the night before I was later bailed.
