A GARDA believed she was going to die as her businessman husband choked her on the kitchen floor of their home during a domestic attack, a court heard. Ms Meng said she blacked out after one of the blows and told Mr Zhu “you have just punched me six times, why are you so angry?" He got on top of her, slapped her face and she felt a sharp pain and lost her hearing. Ms Meng told gardaí when Mr Zhu was choking her she “thought she was going to die because it was done so hard”. She said Mr Zhu used his two hands to choke her until she lost consciousness.
