A former top hockey coach of the public school who was accused of killing his wife in tears, the police told tears that he had found himself while he shouted “Let me do it,” a court heard.
Mohammed Samak, 42, who previously worked for Malvern College, is accused of stabbing interior designer Joanne, 49, after the couple 'drove apart' and struggled to find work.
But the Hockey International, who had represented Egypt and was a member of the team of the English more than 40, told the police that he was discovering his wife in Droitwich Spa in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire in the early hours of 1 July last year.
He denies her to kill her.
Jury members of the Worcester Crown Court were led by transcriptions from a police interview that took place at 2 p.m. on July 2, in which Samak gave his version of events.
He told officers by tears that he had been in bed when he became aware of his wife in a state of need in the bathroom.
He said: 'Jo shouted, I turned around and I saw that she was at the bathroom door, I saw that she had had a knife in her hand, she tries to stab herself.
“I tried to help and she pushed me and she went to the room and she kept stabbing herself and by the time she went to the bed, she bleed.

Samak claims that his wife Joanne put himself in the stomach after struggling with mental health and alcohol
“I tried to help, I tried to drag her out of the room, I was scared, I was terrified of what I had seen, I couldn't do anything.”
He told officers that he had initially asked his wife: “Are it going?” When he saw her with the knife, but she pushed him aside and said, “Leave me alone, I don't need your help.”
Samak claims that his wife has stabbed herself in the stomach and breast to struggle with her mental health and alcohol and drink two bottles of wine four times a week.
In his interview with the police on July 2, Samak claimed that his wife was starting to attack around 3 o'clock when he slept.
“I tried to move her to see if she could respond, but she couldn't,” he said officers.
'I sat down, ran around, I didn't know what to do, I didn't know if I should call her mother – I didn't really know what to do, I cried. I couldn't believe it.
“I had trouble breathing, I couldn't really think.”
The court heard that, as Samak described how JO reportedly stabbed himself, he was somewhat bent on the edge of the interview table, to show the way he said she had the injuries.
The next day, on July 3, he gave a similar report to the police and said: “She stabbed herself. She fell in the room next to the toilet, but she waved her arms in a way that got a bit out of hand, but then she turned around and stuck herself.
“She said” I don't need any help “and” let me do it. “

But public prosecutors said that instead he tried to characterize his wife as “a alcoholic who got out of hand to strengthen his report that Joanne took her own life.”
Jury members told that he experienced financial difficulties and 'had feelings' for a former female introduction to whom he had made contact again.
Samak waited more than an hour before he called 999 and 'did nothing' to help his dying woman before telling a 'package of lies' about what had happened, claimed public prosecutors.
He was head coach of the Welsh Under-18S Boys and Girls Hockey and formerly Head of Jongenshockey at Malvern College, which costs up to £ 57,285 a year to participate.
The court heard that the couple met in 2011 when Mrs. Samak went on vacation to Egypt and he was in charge of sports and activity facilities for guests in her hotel.
Three years later in the country, “surprisingly” her mother got married by sending a photo of those who held their wedding certificate, written in Arabic, and Samak moved to the UK at the end of 2014.
He then assured work at Malvern College before he later continued to the Grammar school of Bishop Vesey in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, the court heard.
Police and forensic investigation on site in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, on July 2 last year
Samak continued with the coach for Hockey Wales, jury members were told, but the work was 'sporadic' and Mrs. Samak, who founded a new design agency with colleagues after they were superfluous, was the 'most important breadwinner'.
Jury members were told earlier that the couple were sleeping in separate beds and during her evidence the mother of Mrs. Samak, Penelope Vale, the court 'Samak' did not think it was correct that they had not slept together for a while '.
She said she had 'no worries' about her daughter's alcohol consumption. But Mr Sandhu asked if Samak approved his wife to drink, Mrs. Vale replied: “Not really … He would talk about it. He didn't like her alcohol. '
Samak claimed to the police that he was not aware of the size of her injuries.
He said: 'Then I pulled her out of her room in the larger room, but when I pulled her in the larger room, I just started to cry and just talk to her. I saw the blood on her chest, but I didn't really see … the lawyer who called me six times against me.
“I didn't really see six stitches on her, only saw the blood and I saw the knife. I was aware that she was trying to do it and I didn't really know.
“I saw no sign of blood, I was just on her on the floor and the situation she has and I am just terrified.”
The process continues.
