A man in Penang allegedly stabbed his wife in the neck, suffocated her, and then kept her dead body at home for four days before turning himself in to the police.
The suspect, a 28-year-old man, has been remanded by the police for seven days to assist with investigations after surrendering himself at around 11.30am on Thursday (Dec 11), according to local media.
He reportedly admitted to the murder.
A team from the Penang Police Headquarters’ Criminal Investigation Department subsequently headed to the suspect’s second-floor apartment unit, said Seberang Perai Tengah district police chief Helmi Aris.
They found the 44-year-old victim lying fully clothed on a mattress in a bedroom with a knife wound on her neck, reported Bernama.
