MELBOURNE: A Punjabi-origin man stabbed his wife to death at their home in Melbourne on Friday as he believed she was having an affair, a court has heard.
The Melbourne Magistrates’ Court heard Parminder Singh, 29, killed Nikita Chawla, 23, after checking her mobile phone which, he believed, confirmed his suspicions about her infidelity, the Herald Sun reported.
Parminder allegedly called triple zero around 1.30 am and admitted to repeatedly stabbing his wife with a knife. The Brunswick West man was arrested in the vicinity of his Waxman Pde home. He was charged with one count of murder. Parminder appeared in court for a brief hearing. His lawyer told the court that Parminder had previously seen a psychiatrist for anxiety issues.
CCTV footage, DNA and forensic evidence will be analysed for evidence.
