    An Auckland man's been jailed for eight-and-a-half years for attempting to murder his estranged wife at a McDonald's

    5 November 2024
    Mitesh Kumar lured his wife to the fast-food outlet and slashed her throat, in January.

    They'd been married for 18 years - but separated for almost one.

    Justice Campbell says the premeditation, extreme unprovoked violence and use of a lethal weapon required the upper end of sentencing.

    The sentence included discounts for a guilty plea and previous good behaviour.
