Man turns himself in after stabbing wife 13 times
Police say the suspect showered and handed his three-year-old child to his sister before surrendering.
Last night, a shocking incident unfolded in Kulim, Kedah, where a man brutally stabbed his wife to death with a switchblade. The victim, a 39-year-old woman, suffered 13 stab wounds - seven to her chest, five to her abdomen, and one to her right rib area.
Kulim police chief Syamsul Sinring revealed that the motive behind the horrific act appeared to be jealousy. The tragic event transpired in the master bedroom of the couple's residence, who shared custody of a three-year-old child.
In a bizarre turn of events, the suspect, a 43-year-old unemployed man, turned himself in at the Lunas police station after the horrifying ordeal. He first showered and handed his child over to a babysitter before his sister picked up the little one at a rest stop on the North-South Expressway.
Syamsul informed that the suspect has no prior criminal record and tested negative for drugs. The police are currently investigating the incident under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which pertains to murder.
