Tasmania, October 29: In a shocking incident in Tasmania, Australia, a man attacked his wife and brother with a shovel after catching them in a compromising position inside a car, all while his mother sat in the front seat. The 41-year-old accused, David McCulloch, was overcome with rage when he found his wife, Jacinta King, having sex with his brother, Jamie McCulloch, following a series of unanswered phone calls. After hearing the case in detail, a court in Australia sentenced David to three years in prison for his violent actions.
As per the New York Post report, the incident began when David grew suspicious of his wife's whereabouts and attempted to contact her multiple times, only to be met with silence. Concerned for her safety, he decided to track her down, ultimately leading him to a parking lot near his brother's apartment. Upon arriving, he discovered his wife and brother in the act, an explosive moment that escalated into violence almost immediately.

The situation spiralled out of control, resulting in injuries that required hospitalisation for both King and Jamie.
