Man admits stabbing wife to death at home in Wolverhampton

A man has admitted to stabbing his wife to death at their home in Wolverhampton.

Rajveer Mahey was charged with the murder of 46-year-old Kamaljeet Mahey on Park Meadow Avenue, Bilston in December 2023.

The 50-year-old pleaded guilty to her murder at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Monday 18 March.

He has been remanded in custody for sentencing on 19 April.

Investigating officer, Detective Inspector Jim Mahon, said: "Our thoughts remain with Mrs Mahey's children and family who continue to grieve for their much loved mother and loved one.

"This case is a tragic case that has left a family without a mother and a father.

"We believe the murder may have been driven by unsubstantiated jealousy but the true motive may never be known."

"By admitting his guilt he has saved the family from a lengthy and difficult trial and we hope that this brings a small comfort to Mrs Mahey's family."
