Man kills wife for using phone while eating

An argument broke out between the two, and Mr. Johansen was taken home by Ms. T on a motorbike. About 2 hours later, Ms. D returned home, and Ms. T had to go out for work.
When they met, Ms. D and Mr. Johansen continued to argue, including about the division of assets.
Unable to keep calm, in a fit of rage, Johansen ran down to the kitchen, grabbed two knives and stabbed Mrs. D many times, causing the victim todeathon the spot
The perpetrator then rode a motorbike out of the house, carrying four knives, intending to use the two knives that had not been used to commit suicide. However, at around 8:30 p.m. the same day, Johansen went to an ATM in Ward 1, Da Lat City and was arrested by the police.
According to Johansen's statement, he came to Vietnam in 2006 and frequently traveled between the Netherlands and Vietnam. In 2010, Johansen married Ms. D, who already had two children, including Ms. T. Johansen adopted Ms. D's two children.

Mrs. D did not speak much English, while Johansen could not use Vietnamese, so they had a language barrier. However, there were no major conflicts between the two.
At the investigation agency, Johansen showed great remorse. When arrested, the subject was still wearing the same clothes he used to commit the crime, stained with the victim's blood.
This is only the suspect's initial statement. The Lam Dong Provincial Police Investigation Agency is continuing to work, take statements from related people, and consolidate the case file to clarify the case.
