SINGAPORE - The case of a husband and wife found dead in Bedok last year has been determined to be a murder-cum-suicide.

The case happened on March 18 last year at about 6.30pm. The court has prohibited any details which may allow the couple's two young daughters to be identified.

The Shin Min Daily News reported that the 38-year-old man stabbed his wife, 34, in the lift, before jumping to his death from the 12th storey of a HDB at Block 75, Bedok North Road.

According to a Court inquiry, the couple, who were Malaysians, were having problems in their marriage at the time. She wanted a divorce, and he had suspected that his wife was having an affair.

She also told him that she did not want custody of their two children, aged 8 and 10, who were staying with relatives in Malaysia.

Asked sister-in-law to take care of kids

The couple met each other in Singapore in 1998, but he returned to Johor in 2009 to start a business. His wife remained in Singapore and worked as a shop assistant at a convenience store.

The couple did not get to see each other often.

Afterthe topic of divorce was broached, the husband often drove to Singapore - alone or with the kids - to try and persuade his wife to change her mind. But his efforts were fruitless.

According to the Chinese news daily, on March 18 last year, the husband had driven the kids to his sister-in-law's place, where his wife was staying.

After dropping off the kids and asking his sister-in-law to take care of them, he asked his wife to come out of the house on the pretext of discussing child custody issues.

However, in the lift, they had a massive argument where the man drew a 22-centimetre-long blade and stabbed his wife in the chest.

He then ran out of the lift at the 12th storey and jumped to his death.

Police investigations showed that he was emotionally distraught, based text messages and phone calls that he had made to his sister-in-law and relatives leading up to the fateful night, reported Wanbao.

He had been particularly upset that his wife did not want custody of their children.

Original plan was to kill self and kids

According to Shin Min, the husband's original plan was to kill himself and his kids, but he changed his mind after the kids told him that they 'did not want to die'.

Based on messages retrieved from his phone by the police, he had sent a text message to his wife, telling her to take care and that 'their spirits will be with her'.

He also sent another message hinting that it is the last she will hear from him.

But his plans changed when he asked his daughters in the car if 'they were willing to die', and they said no, reported Wanbao.

Wife's colleague denies affair, but admits attraction

A male colleague of the wife has admitted that they were attracted to each other, but denied that they had started an affair.

The 32-year-old deliveryman who was also married, said they had both decided that they would seek a divorce from their spouses before starting a relationship.

Therefore, when the incident happened, their status were still as 'good friends', he said.

That's why a woman should never be too heartless. At least take joint custody of the kids la.

The man also cannot make it. Even thought of killing the innocent kids.

Next time anyone think of suicide, please help us out by bringing a few PAP dogs along instead of killing your kids. The kids are innocent :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Are we that naive to believe that that there is nothing going on between the wife and 'lover'? Both were in the process of getting a divorce to start a new relationship, giving up spouses and children along the way. Must be a relationship made in heaven. What happened to the lover? Divorce or not?

I've heard a lot of similar stories to that. Well, it's terrible to find out that your spouse is having an affair, isn't it? By the way, do you think hidden money in your marriage could be a sign that your wife is having an affair? Watch for these signs and open the lines of communication. Go further.

It is terrible but to the point of hacking the spouse to death? WTF. Life goes on lah.

Sad story. Why should people get married ? Why should marriage be certified ? If certified, adultry should be deemed a offence and should be put in jail.
