Yahoo! News - Man Killed by Wife Over Paint Argument, Police Say: "Thu Jun 26, 8:23 AM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - The color of your home's walls can be a matter of life and death, as a German man found out when he was fatally stabbed by his wife after they had an argument about what color to paint them, police said Wednesday.
The dispute flared as the 53-year-old man and his Polish wife of 30 years were redecorating their house. Angered and frustrated by the escalating feud, the man got a kitchen knife and suggested to his wife she use it on him, police said.
The 50-year-old woman then grabbed the knife and plunged it into his heart. Rescue services were unable to save the man. Both had been drinking alcohol, according to police.
'It's a tragic story,' said Christiane Leven, a spokeswoman for police in the western city of Hamburg.
Police arrested the woman, who now faces prosecution. Police could not say what colors the couple were arguing over. "
