He said the deceased, MacMillan Oliphant, had asked the pregnant woman to boil water so he could have a bath. Once the water had boiled and it had been poured in the bath tub, the man locked the bedroom door as the woman lay on the bed. "They rushed to the bedroom but found the door locked. They then went to the window to break in. The woman was lying on the floor injured and the man is alleged to have said he wants to die with his child then slashed his throat and wrists.
