Rajveer Mahey, 50, was sentenced to life in prison for fatally stabbing his wife, Kamaljeet Mahey, 45, as per Metro. The incident took place in their garage in Stowlawn, West Midlands, where Rajveer repeatedly attacked Kamaljeet, causing catastrophic neck and body injuries. The assault occurred around 4:35 a.m. on December 15, last year, and Kamaljeet died at the scene.
Misguided jealousy turns deadly
Rajveer Mahey's actions stemmed from a deeply misguided belief that his wife was having an affair, despite reassurances from others that this was not true. Tragically, his unfounded suspicions resulted in a disastrous outcome, leaving Kamaljeet with 28 sharp force injuries and eventually costing her life. The court heard how Rajveer falsely accused his wife of infidelity despite evidence to the contrary, highlighting the tragic consequences of unchecked jealousy.
Brutal murder in domestic setting
During the trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court, it was revealed that Kamaljeet fought back against her attacker, indicating the severity of the assault. Judge Michael Chambers KC described the murder as "brutal and sustained," emphasizing the domestic violence and abuse that fueled the crime. 
“This was a brutal and sustained murder in a domestic context with domestic violence and abuse,” he said. Rajveer's use of a weapon, specifically a knife, heightened the gravity of the offense, which occurred in their own home.
Despite being confronted with the gravity of his actions, Rajveer expressed little regret for depriving his children of their mother and a beloved family member. Judge Chambers criticized Rajveer's lack of accountability, claiming that he had "only himself to blame" for the tragic outcome.
However, the judge recognized Rajveer's early guilty plea as a mitigating factor in sentencing, despite the fact that the gravity of the offense required a significant punishment.
Sentencing and impact
Rajveer Mahey received a life sentence with a minimum sentence of 16 years and eight months, reflecting the gravity of his crime. However, the sentence was slightly reduced to account for Rajveer's time in custody on remand.
After reflecting on the case, Detective Inspector Jim Mahon described it as "absolutely tragic," emphasizing the profound impact on Kamaljeet's two children, who are now without both parents.
The court proceedings highlighted the devastating consequences of unchecked jealousy and the importance of addressing domestic issues before they escalate into violence.
