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.
