SITUBONDO - A man in Ketah Village, Situbondo District, East Java, with the initials AAP (46) killed his wife. The perpetrator admitted that he had a grudge with the victim with the initials Hns (43) because he was often expelled.

The victim's wife who was a midwife was found dead at her workplace on Thursday, January 13 morning. The victim was found dead after a patient came to the victim's house which was also used as a midwifery practice.

Head of Public Relations of the Situbondo Police, Iptu Achmad Sutrisno, said the perpetrator surrendered himself to the Besuki Police after killing his wife.

"From the report, members of the Besuki Police, together with members of the Suboh Police, along with the Situbondo Police Inafis team, went directly to the scene.
