This happened in Europe in 1998 or earlier. Possibly in Germany. A Chinese hand grenade type 86 P (weight approx. 290 g, approx. 1600 steel spheres 2.5–3.0 mm in diameter) wrapped in a red blanket was detonated in the course of a marital quarrel in the bedroom. At the time of detonation, the wife was lying on the bed in a prone position and the husband, who had acquired the grenade in Operation Desert Storm during The Gulf War, was kneeling or lying on her back.





The hand grenade was located below the wife’s right clavicle so that the torso of the man was protected by the body of his wife. Both hands of the wife and the right hand of the husband were in close proximity to the hand grenade, apparently because both were fighting for it. The detonation produced multiple holes and a crater in the mattress measuring 20 × 20 cm but the slatted wooden bed frame did not show complete perforations. Abundant blood stains and red fibers from the blanket were present on the ceiling and the walls. This stain pattern was radially arranged around a center marked by the crater of the mattress. A double-glazed window at a distance of 2 m showed multiple hits with perforations of the first but not of the second layer.



The woman died at the scene. The autopsy revealed the following injuries: a large and irregular but mostly shallow laceration of the right anterior upper chest wall surrounded by detonator and explosive residues. The soft tissues of the left chest showed several small tangential wounds. The second and third ribs were extensively fractured and the right pleural cavity was opened. Both lungs, the pulmonary artery, the right atrium, the aortic arch, and the large cervical vessels showed multiple small defects of circular to slit-like shape and a bilateral haemopneumothorax was present. The soft tissues of the right face were lacerated and the mandible and the nasal bone were fractured but the neurocranium was not perforated and the brain was not injured. The right hand was amputated at the wrist and the left hand was lacerated with multiple steel spheres inside the tissue. Multiple spheres were also found in the soft tissues of both the upper arms and the right hip region. Death was due to hemorrhagic shock.

The man survived with a laceration of the right hand including metacarpal fractures and amputation of several fingers, which necessitated surgical amputation at the wrist. Multiple steel spheres were present in the soft tissues of the head without fractures, in the left forearm with fracture of the ulna, and the left thigh. I was unable to find more info about this case.

Soldier’s wife killed by grenade
A SEVERELY injured British soldier was under police guard in hospital in Germany yesterday after his wife was killed when a hand grenade exploded in their flat Lance Corporal Phillip Eddowes. 29, from Downham Market Norfolk, who lost a hand and an eye in the blast was recovering from surgery as police investigated the incident.

The soldier, who is stationed with 32 Engineer Regiment at Hohne near Hanover, is understood to have driven 100 miles to see his estranged German wife Anke, 27. Last Thursday at the flat they shared in Rheine. Osnabruk, to discuss their problems. His wife died instantly in the explosion.

Her sister, who was visiting die flat at the time, escaped uninjured. She told police who arrested Eddowes that his wife had asked for a divorce. Alan Patterson, spokesman for British forces in Germany, said: “We don’t know where the grenade came from. Everyone in his regiment and the army is extremely shocked that this has occurred and regret very much what has happened."

German police are investigating where Eddowes who joined the army in 1985, had obtained the grenade which is believed to have been made in Eastern Europe. Police have taken jurisdiction over the matter as it involves a German citizen, and Army disciplinary action against Eddowes is said to be unlikely if charges result from the investigation.

Lance Corp Eddowes had served in the Gulf War and was part of the British contingent of the United Nations peacekeeping force in Bosnia 18 months ago. His divorced mother Josephine, a retired nurse, and younger brother Simon, who is also in the Army, were flown to Germany to be at his bedside. archive.org

When your marital spat escalates to the use of grenades, I suggest going to a marriage counselor or fuck it, just get a divorce IMMEDIATELY.
