Wife held over attack on Gurkha

A woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempting to murder her Gurkha husband at Sandhurst.

Corporal Khagendra Pariya, 40, was taken to hospital with a slit throat after an incident at the Royal Military Academy on the Berkshire/Surrey border.

The 42-year-old woman was detained under the Mental Health Act after being held on Monday over the "domestic" incident, police said.

The man remains in a serious but stable condition at Frimley Park Hospital.

A Thames Valley Police spokeswoman said: "The ambulance service received a call at 0045 reporting that a 40-year-old man had sustained serious neck injuries, believed to have been caused by a knife."

An MoD spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a member of military staff at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst was admitted to hospital after a domestic incident."
