A court in Ho Chi Minh City on Tuesday sentenced a man to 20 years in jail for strangling his wife to death for having an affair.

Huynh Van Han, 25, received a reduced sentence for murder charge as he gave himself up after the act in last October, local media reported.

Han left his wife on October 13 after finding out that she was in a relationship with another man.

His wife called and apologized two days later, asking him to come back.

He agreed and when they were having a reunion talk at their rent room, she received a phone call.

He grasped his wife's cellphone and heard a man’s voice, so they argued and he pushed his wife and strangled her neck until she died.
