New Delhi, Nov 19 (ANI): Huang Zhong, a farmer too possessive of his wife, was arrested last week after he extorted 100,000 yuan from a fellow villager for taking his wife to the county seat in Nanning, capital of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

The 35-year-old Zhong from Xiangshan village was so possessive about his wife that he could not bear to see her talking to other men.

When Zhong's wife followed a neighbour to see Nanning for a few hours earlier this year, he suspected that the two were having an affair, reports the China Daily.

He threatened to kill his neighbour and received 100,000 yuan from him as compensation.

The procuratorate has ratified Zhong's arrest, saying that he had committed a crime. (ANI)
