A Jealous Husband Who Killed His Wife Due To False Cheating Allegations, Bags Life Imprisonment.

 A life sentence has been imposed on a man who fatally stabbed his wife because he erratically believed she was having an affair with someone else.

Kamaljeet Mahey, 45, suffered severe injuries to her neck and torso after Rajveer Mahey, 50, repeatedly stabbed her in their Stowlawn, West Midlands, UK garage.

She was attacked on December 15, 2018, at around 4:35 a.m., and sustained a total of 28 "sharp force injuries" before passing away at the scene.

After about two hours, Mahey called some family members and said, "I killed Kami now; I'm going to kill myself."

Instead of killing himself, though, he met his family outside and showed them where he had hidden his wife's body in the garage.

Mahey was constantly informed that his wife was not having an affair, but he wrongly believed she was, according to evidence presented at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

Mahey "only had himself to blame," according to Mr. Gurdeep Garcha KC, who was defending him, and there was "a darker side behind closed doors." 

It was improbable, he said, that Mahey's kids would ever talk to him again.

Judge Michael Chambers KC sentenced him, stating that there was proof Kamaljeet retaliated and "must have suffered."

This was a brutal and sustained murder in a domestic context with domestic violence and abuse.

‘In accordance to the guidelines for such offending that increases the seriousness.

‘There was use of a weapon, namely a knife, and the offence occurred in her own home.’

Judge Chambers told Mahey he had not showed any regret for "depriving his children of a much loved member" when he spoke to him through an interpreter.

He went on to say that his early guilty plea at the preliminary hearing last month was the best mitigation he could muster.

"On the day in question you spoke to her brother-in-law again saying you suspected she was having an affair," Judge Chambers stated.

‘You were clearly still angry and agitated. You knew she did not drink much alcohol, but unusually you encouraged her to drink some and you were unusually affectionate to your children.

‘A combination of that leads to the clear inference that you have decided to kill her.

‘CCTV shows that at 4.35am you went with her into the garage. It is right to say that it was usual for her to be preparing food in the garage at 4am.

‘You lured her into the garage. You did so in order to to kill her.

‘Loud screams were recorded at 4.35am. Four minutes later you came out and returned to the house.

‘It was not until 6.29am, two hours later, that you called your sister’s number then told your brother-in-law what you did.’

Mahey received a life sentence, with a minimum of 16 years and 8 months in prison, excluding 123 days for the remand period.
