Man admits killing wife at Wolverhampton home

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

Rajveer Mahey was charged with the murder of 46-year-old Kamaljeet Mahey at an address on Park Meadow Avenue on 15 December 2023.

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

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."

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