  "account": "Kota Bharu police apprehended a suspect in connection with the brutal stabbing of his wife six times in Kampung Padang Lepai, Kadok. The 47-year-old man was remanded for seven days under Section 326 of the Penal Code, pending the investigation. The victim, a nurse and 78-year-old mother of the suspect, Zubaidah Abdullah, suffered six stab wounds to her body and neck. She was rushed to Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital for treatment.\n\nZubaidah recounted that her daughter had been married to the suspect for six years and had previously filed a police report regarding his death threats. Initially, Zubaidah believed the altercation was a regular family dispute, but the severity of the attack became apparent when she noticed blood on the floor. In an attempt to intervene, Zubaidah was also injured in the incident, requiring two stitches on her finger.\n\nThe 12-year-old grandson played a crucial role by alerting others after fleeing the darkened kitchen, unaware of his father's escape. He later surrendered to the Nilam Puri police station.",
