SANDAKAN – A supposed meeting with a man’s prospective mother-in-law went awry when he allegedly slit her throat after a heated argument yesterday in the Taman Sentosa apartment here.
In the 5.50pm incident, police said the 59-year-old Indonesian housewife died at the scene, while her 25-year-old daughter, who was also present, has minor injuries on her arm.
The 31-year-old suspect had been dating the 25-year-old, said Sandakan district police chief Abdul Fuad Malek.
The suspect later surrendered himself at the Sandakan police station, where he was arrested and is currently under remand.
