Queens woman calls police, confesses to knifing husband to death, police say
A 74-year-old Queens woman has been arrested after calling police and confessing that she knifed her 76-year-old husband to death, police said Saturday.
Police found Kuen Tat Ho sprawled out on the floor of the couple’s College Point home, bleeding from multiple stab wounds to his head, back and torso, cops said
EMS rushed him to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
“I just killed my husband,” his wife Lai Chun Ho allegedly told an 911 operator late Friday from their home on 120th St. near 25th Ave., cops said.
Police found the couple’s special needs son, who is in his 40s, in a back bedroom. He had slept through the bloodshed, the police source said.
A kitchen knife, believed to be the murder weapon, was recovered at the scene.
Doctors counted at least 11 stab wounds, a police source said. The NYPD did not immediately confirm the number Saturday.
A motive in the case was not immediately clear, and it was unknown if police had ever been called to the home previously.
Lai Chun was charged with murder and weapons possession. Her arraignment in Queens Criminal Court was pending Saturday.
