A man in Ngambè-Tikar, in Cameroon's Centre Region, has reportedly stabbed his wife to death after allegedly being told that she was cheating on him.

According to reports shared by Cameroonian news platform Nzui-Manto, the man was informed by his wife's best friend that she was allegedly involved in an affair.

The information reportedly triggered an angry reaction from the husband.

The exact circumstances of the incident, including what happened between the couple immediately before the stabbing, have not been independently confirmed.
