33-Year-Old Woman with Postpartum Depression Charged with Murder for Fatally Cutting Husband's Neck in Lohas Park

On June 29, 2024, a tragic incident occurred in Lohas Park, Hong Kong. A 33-year-old woman, allegedly suffering from postpartum depression, was arrested and charged with murder after she fatally cut her 30-year-old husband's neck.

According to the report, the incident took place around 11:50 PM within Unit 9A of Marini in Lohas Park Phase 9A. The woman allegedly seized an opportunity while her husband was sleeping on the sofa in the living room. She used a roughly 30-centimeter-long fruit knife to inflict a severe cut to his left neck.

After the attack, the woman reportedly called her father-in-law to confess to the crime and expressed her intention to commit suicide. The father-in-law then contacted the authorities to seek assistance.

When the police arrived, they found the injured man sitting on the sofa, bleeding profusely. He was rushed to the hospital but tragically did not survive the attack. The suspected assailant, the wife, was found inside the bedroom and was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Preliminary investigations reveal that the married couple had been together for approximately five years and had a child together, born about a year and a half ago. The couple was known to have a harmonious relationship, and there were no apparent financial or marital issues.

However, it has been reported that the wife experienced postpartum depression and suicidal tendencies following the birth of their child. She sought regular treatment from a private doctor, but her condition had worsened in recent months. Additionally, she had resigned from her clerical job at the beginning of the month.

Investigators are now exploring the suspect's mental state and other potential factors that may have contributed to the tragic incident.
