( dpa ) - An Australian man was charged in a Singapore court with attempted murder in pushing his Thai wife out of a fourth-floor window, news reports said on Wednesday.
Jason John Porteous, 35, was accused of shoving Madam Pimchanok out of the bedroom window of their condominium, The Straits Times said.
Porteous, a Singapore resident doing administrative work, was sent for psychiatric assessment. He is scheduled to appear in court again on June 3.
If convicted, Porteous faces life imprisonment, caning and a fine.
His wife, in her early 30s, has been in an intensive care unit since the incident on Sunday.
Neighbours told the newspaper they saw her lying on the ground beside a drain, bleeding and unable to speak.
The woman, her husband and sister had moved to the city-state two to three months ago.
