Den Bosch man arrested for stabbing wife to death

A man stabbed his wife to death in a home on Marco Polostraat in Den Bosch on Thursday afternoon. He was arrested at around 2:00 p.m., when he went to a police station to turn himself in, AD reports.

When the police went to investigate, they had to break one of the home's windows to get in. Inside they found the woman's body. No one else was in the home.

Local residents told AD that a Moroccan family, with two sons in their 20s and a teenage daughter, live in the home. "Unreal", one neighbor said to the newspaper. "They were all very quiet and sweet people."

The police can not yet say anything about the motive for the killing. The investigation is ongoing.
