Mistress killing

Woman gets 12 years for killing husband’s mistress

Julie Rex, of Gumine in Chimbu province, has been in custody since 26 March 2016, a period of one year, 10 months, after she killed Abaija Mol, by stabbing her with a kitchen knife in the early hours of that day.

She is in her 20s and was married to Rex Mark for 10 years.

The incident took place at Erima Swamp settlement after she saw the deceased go home with her husband early that morning after his runs. He was a taxi driver.

She later found them under the banana tree engaging in sexual activities.

Her husband ran off after a fight broke out between them.
