Boyfriend slashed to death after old lovers’ tiff
By IVAN LOH
IPOH: An elderly couple’s spat turned ugly when the woman repeatedly slashed her boyfriend to death at her house in Ipoh Garden here.
Deputy Ipoh OCPD Superintendent Ibrahim Abu Bakar said Risham Abdullah, 63, was found dead with slash wounds on his head and body on Wednesday at about 5.30pm.
“We found a bloodstained parang (machete) in the house and have arrested the 51-year-old girlfriend,” Supt Ibrahim said on Thursday.
“The woman, who is unemployed, also sustained some injuries during the scuffle,” he added.
Supt Ibrahim said police had yet to ascertain the cause for their argument and have recorded statements from the neighbours.
The woman was remanded until Dec 10 at the magistrate’s court on Thursday for further investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
It is depressing to hear of a death happening every other another day.
But this is ridiculous.
OLD LOVER'S TIFF?
Why would anyone still be boyfriends and girlfriends at the age of 50 and above?
Don't you have better things to do?
Doesn't it sound ridiculous?
Did the couple get together a few years ago?
The more pressing question is : do they still have intimate contact?
I, for one, am very curious if intimate contact happens to women after the age of 45.
After menopause.
Women usually lose their sex drive, no?
Can't you settle your issues like elderly adults?
What's with the violence?
Didn't you grow up in John Lennon's era?
"Make love, not war"
However, I must say, I do understand why a woman would repeatedly (want to) slash her man.
I need not go further in explaining myself.
R.I.P!

Hi there.
I'm just someone who is interested in this particular case.
I just wanted to know how or why you would understand if a girlfriend would want to slash and inflict that much of pain unto her boyfriend. I really don't, n jz wanted to understand your view.
hahahaha, as they say, guys are from mars, and women are from venus. we are really different creatures, and sometimes we cant get our thoughts through to the other person. in instances that gfs would try to slash their bfs, are simplified into the following :
1) them being cheated on,
2) accumulated pent up anger from long ago,
3) because the bf also inflicted the same amount of pain onto the girl.
We may forgive, but women never forget. sometimes both parties are too stubborn. at times, they might just be pushed up the wall. most times, people just have no control over their anger - hence the violence.
There are several reasons why gfs will slash their bfs.
It's really too general to elaborate on, as the news only tells us so much.
But personally, to my understanding, men actually might be too stubborn at times to listen to what the other party has to say, and always think they are right.
I might be wrong.
please tell me your views too!

Thank you for being so open about your views.
I'm probably someone who respects the sanctity of life a lot. Although, I've tried various scenarios, there's no way I'd inflict that much on anyone I'm suppose to care about, much less a boyfriend.
If you noticed, the gf is being charged but nothing else is given in the report.
The bf is a diabetic and a heart patient thus he should not be able to inflict the same amount of pain on her. Further, the bf was cheating on his wife with the gf that killed him and the gf knew about the wife.
There were suspicions that the slashing went on after the bf was down on the floor.
All this should be considered "insider" information but for discussions, I'm comfortable revealing it.
Slashing the bf to death would have been no way to express her feelings because he wouldn't feel the same type of pain (emotional vs physical).
Personally, I'd rather they feel guilt and regret and no one should take a life of another.
Could you give me your views on this.
wow, after knowing your insider views on this, it completely changed my mind on things. firstly. i did not know that he was diabetic and had heart problems.
my my, maybe that man decided to go back to his wife, however, at the first place, he misled his gf into thinking that he would rather be with her than his wife? i don't know. it is hard to probe into the human mind and to see what the gf was thinking at the moment she slashed him.
she might have thought that her emotional pain could be relayed through her slashings so her bf could thoroughly knew how she felt within?
like i always say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. we don't know how insane or how much the person is going to step over the line once they lose their mental balances.
the bf might not have inflicted any physical pain (as you have mentioned) however, i can vouch that emotional pain overrides physical pain any day. i do not know exactly what was going on, but that woman was seriously pissed off. enough to allegedly still slash him after the bf was down on the floor.
i should think at the split of the moment during anger, it is hard to control one's sense of right and wrong.
i do think that it is wrong to take another life. different people have different views on life appreciation and what not.
i believe in karma.
but i also believe in retribution! an eye for an eye!
oh i am truly the queen of irony!

hahaha, queen of irony.
I really know what that's like.
It's the daily fight I have between myself and my dark side.
i guess it would take a lot of experience and tolerance to maintain a mental balance and self-control during a moment like that.
My mental age should be 30 yrs older than me. Haha, or more.
Which is probably why it was hard to understand the gf's mindset at that moment, because she was old enough to have developed that self-control.
I agree with you completely on the point that emotional pain trumps physical pain, any day. The emotional pain she might have felt never went to the bf who was probably the person who caused it, but passed to his loved ones.
So, she took him away from them and herself too and if she did love him, it would jz add to her emotional pain.
What a sad waste. But glad to know that a little information can change a person's mind about others.
Thanks so much for understanding my need to understand your views.
I'm a karma and pay it forward kinda person. But I still fight my retribution part, prefering the wrongdoers to feel the emotional pain from the consequences of their actions.
I hardly have these intellectual talks!
You truly BOGGLE my mind.
