Friday, 24 March 2017 | MYT 12:40 PM Lovers’ tiff ends in murder and attempted suicide
KUCHING: A fight between a couple ended in tragedy when the man stabbed his girlfriend to death and then tried to commit suicide.
Sarawak CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Dev Kumar said the 25-year-old man, a car accessories salesman, was brought to the Sarawak General Hospital on Friday morning with stab wounds to his body, neck and wrists.
Upon questioning, the salesman said he had an argument with his girlfriend, a 25-year-old shop assistant, in her rented room at the Liang Kee commercial centre here and that he had stabbed her.
Police visited the scene and found the body of the girlfriend sprawled on a mattress on the floor in the room.
She was found with stab wounds on her neck and a bloodstained knife close to her body.
"Further investigation revealed that the boyfriend had spent the night in the room with his girlfriend. He had accused his girlfriend of seeing another man behind his back.
"A fierce argument ensued and he took a knife that was in the room and stabbed her in the neck. He then tried to commit suicide by stabbing his abdomen and neck and also slashing his wrists. He may have had a change of heart and rushed to a convenience store nearby to seek assistance," SAC Dev Kumar said in a statement on Friday.
He said the man, who is undergoing treatment at the hospital, is under arrest. The case is being investigated as murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
"This is the sixth murder reported in Sarawak this year and all have been solved," SAC Dev Kumar added.

Kuching: Seorang wanita berusia 25 tahun ditemui mati ditikam teman lelakinya di sebuah bilik sewa di Pusat Komersial Liang Kee di sini, hari ini.
Dalam kejadian 3.30 pagi itu, mangsa ditikam menggunakan pisau di leher oleh suspek berusia 25 tahun.
Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Sarawak Datuk Dev Kumar berkata, suspek turut mengalami kecederaan parah di badan, dipercayai cuba membunuh diri selepas kejadian itu.
Menurutnya, selepas membunuh wanita terbabit, suspek kemudian meminta bantuan orang awam di kawasan itu untuk menghantarnya ke hospital.
"Orang awam menghubungi polis pada 3.45 pagi berikutan curiga dengan keadaan suspek yang berlumuran darah," katanya.
Menurutnya, hasil siasatan, polis mendapati suspek mengaku membunuh teman wanitanya itu kerana mendakwa mangsa curang.
Dev berkata, kes akan disiasat mengikut Seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan yang memperuntukkan hukuman mati mandatori, jika sabit kesalahan.
