When officers questioned the wife, she pretended to be deeply upset. She claimed that two masked men had broken into their house and stabbed her husband to death.

She added that the perpetrators stole several designer bags, gold jewellery, and S$12,300 (RM40,000) in cash before fleeing in a BMW, Sin Chew Daily reports.

In total, the wife estimates that they lost a total of S$30,700 (RM100,000).

CCTV footage reveals she hired the hitman

Although the woman instructed the hitman to remove the hard drive from the security camera in the house, investigators still managed to uncover a memory card from the CCTV that captured the true nature of the incident.

This led them to identify the wife as the biggest suspect in the crime.

After she was arrested, the wife confessed that she and the hitman were acquaintances. It is suspected that she plotted to have her husband killed for his insurance money.

Neighbours said that the couple, who have three children, rarely quarrelled and appeared loving.

Police arrest 4 other suspects

China Press reports that after the murder, the hitman fled the scene and drove all the way to Negeri Sembilan.

Authorities later arrested four local men in connection with the case. They also seized the BMW they used to escape and recovered all the valuables that were stolen from the house.

According to Sin Chew Daily, the four men, who are between the ages of 20 and 36, have multiple criminal records.

Police said that they will detain the five suspects to assist in the investigations. After that, the Deputy Public Prosecutor will decide the next course of action.
