Don’t send me to jail, pleads husband who admitted to slitting bedridden wife's throat PostNewspaperSA
Durban - After pleading guilty to killing his bedridden wife after she begged him to end her suffering, a Phoenix grandfather is praying he will not be sent to jail. In an exclusive interview with POST shortly after his plea, Nundkumaran Poonusamy Pillay, 64, said he had spent the past 16 days in custody at the Phoenix police station praying for forgiveness as he awaited his fate.
Pillay said he was scared of going to prison. “I may get a life sentence because of the seriousness of the crime. I know I will not survive. I will commit suicide if I have to face jail time because I consider myself a dead man in jail.”“She is the only one standing by my side and has supported me throughout the case. I don’t know where my daughter is. I don’t know if she knows what happened.”“I want people to know that I am sorry. I did it out of love.
They had two children, a son who died of cancer and a daughter who he has not been seen or heard from since January.
