A woman has died after reportedly being stabbed three times in an incident believed to have stemmed from a domestic dispute involving her husband.
Marital disagreements are suspected to have played a role in the incident, although the exact circumstances remain subject to investigation.
Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad confirmed that the victim, an officer with the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS), sustained two stab wounds to the left side of her abdomen and another to her right cheek. A post-mortem examination was scheduled for Saturday, 17 October.
Preliminary investigations suggest that an argument broke out after the woman informed her husband that she wanted a divorce and had filed an application while he was serving a prison sentence. The couple had been married for approximately seven years and had two children, aged five and six.
Police recovered a knife from a mattress in the couple’s bedroom, which has been seized for forensic examination. The suspect, a man in his 30s who had reportedly been released from prison on Wednesday following a drug-related case, subsequently surrendered at a police station.
The incident occurred at approximately 7pm on Thursday, 15 October 2026, at government staff quarters. The suspect has been remanded for seven days until 22 October, with investigations continuing under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
