A WOMAN died after she was allegedly stabbed by her husband in an incident at a house in Taman Cahaya, Bukit Gambir, in Tangkak, yesterday.

According to sources, the suspect, who is in his 30s, was also believed to have tried to burn down his mother-in-law's house in Lenga, Pagoh, Muar, which is located about 40 kilometres from his home.
