A MAN on trial for killing his daughter took the stand yesterday and accused his wife of having had a hand in it.

Madam Rozanah Mohamed Yusoff, 24, testified she had seen her husband kicking and stamping on their daughter. But Sallehan maintained yesterday, as he always has, that he had only slapped and punched the girl.

In fact, he told the court, he stopped Madam Rozanah after she had struck Nikie twice on the back with a broomstick.
