A court has heard that a mother of four asked her estranged husband "What are you going to do, kill me?" shortly before he allegedly cut her throat with a craft knife. The case is being heard as part of ongoing criminal proceedings, though the specific court, defendant details and current stage of the trial were not included in the available article text.

Beyond the headline exchange reportedly said by the victim, the supplied article content did not contain further details of the alleged attack, the couple's relationship history, or any statements from prosecutors or the defence. No information was provided on the victim's current condition, the location or date of the alleged offence, or what charges the husband faces.
