A woman in Lahad Datu, Sabah was arrested on suspicion of stabbing her husband at their rented home
The incident occurred on Friday, 24 May in Bandar Cenderawasih, Sahabat 7, The Star reported.
Police revealed that the 26-year-old stabbed her husband's right abdomen with a kitchen knife while he was sleeping in the bedroom
After the victim removed the knife from his own body and placed it on the bed, she took it and threw it out of the window.
The 32-year-old security guard then ran to a nearby private clinic to seek treatment.
He passed away the next day, on 25 May.
According to Lahad Datu OCPD Asst Comm Nasri Mansor, the woman's attack was motivated by years of violent behaviour and infidelity by her husband
"He always abused and hit her. He had been cheating on her since 2014, but she overlooked his infidelity to save their marriage," he said.
"He never gave her, nor their children, any money," he added.
The suspect did not attempt to run away before being arrested
She led the police to the murder weapon, The Star reported.
"The suspect was then taken to the Cenderawasih police station for further investigations," ACP Nasri said.
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
