An argument broke out between them, and then the man stabbed his wife. He also stabbed himself in the throat and in his hand, injuring himself with the knife. I went to try to calm him down, but the man didn't stop. He said to me, 'I'll shoot you too,' so I backed off because he was stabbing his own throat. I knew him; he used to come and go to the shop, he was a calm person. We don't know what happened between them. He must have gone into a frenzy," he said.
