The violence began inside the suspect’s home, where a verbal altercation broke out between the man and his wife. According to the investigation, the argument escalated into a physical assault involving a white weapon (bladed weapon), resulting in a fatal injury to the wife.

Immediately following the killing of his spouse, the suspect exited the residence while still armed. He proceeded to a local workshop in the same area, where two young men were employed.
