Singapore - An Australian man was charged in a Singapore court with attempted murder in pushing his Thai wife out of a fourth-floor window, news reports said on Wednesday.

Porteous, a Singapore resident doing administrative work, was sent for psychiatric assessment. He is scheduled to appear in court again on June 3.

If convicted, Porteous faces life imprisonment, caning and a fine.

His wife, in her early 30s, has been in an intensive care unit since the incident on Sunday.
