Malaysian woman who stabbed boyfriend to death over sex demand gets 12 years

A Malaysian court has increased the prison sentence for a woman who stabbed her boyfriend to death after he demanded sex. The Court of Appeal raised her sentence from six and a half years to 12 years, citing that the initial court had shown excessive sympathy toward her. The woman, known only as Shy, was 19 at the time of the incident. She and her 29-year-old boyfriend were staying at a hotel in Johor Bahru when he demanded sex, which she refused due to menstruation. He pulled out a knife, threatening her, leading to a struggle where she stabbed him multiple times. The victim sustained 28 stab wounds according to the autopsy.
