Fong Soong Hert denied murdering Madam Pek Ying Ling, also 51,and told the jury in Newcastle Crown Court that he had"no memory whatsoever" and had diminished responsibility for allegedly killing his wife, British broadcaster BBC reported on Monday .
Prosecutor Peter Makepeace QC said Madam Pek was unhappy with Fong as he continued to smoke while he was unwell on their trip.The couple were on holiday and had plans to meet with one of their sons.According to the Daily Mail, the Newcastle Crown Court heard on Monday that on the night of the incident, Fong messaged their son, who was studying at a university in Newcastle. His text read:"I have hurt your mother. She's gone. She's dead. I just lost it.
Fong had injured himself in a fall during their stay on Isle of Skye, an island off the coast of Scotland, and had visited the hospital. He fell another three times after that in Newcastle, which led to Madam Pek"scolding him for not taking care of himself", said the prosecutor. Madam Pek was found by emergency services lying with her legs hanging over the bottom of the bed and a pillow over her face, reported the BBC.
