He said his seven-year-old stepson would also support his mum anytime she threatened to leave his house.

He told the court that on Jun 15 this year, he was at home when she asked him to buy bread for breakfast instead of grains, He said his insistence on grains led to an argument as his deceased wife started grumbling and threatening to leave his house.
