SACRAMENTO (TIP): On March 8, 63-year-old Amarjit Singh was arrested for allegedly killing his daughter-in-law Shameena Bibi, in Suinsin City, California with a hammer.

Suisun City Police Chief Tim Mattos said 29-year-old Bibi was killed while her in-laws and 2-year-old son were inside the house. According to investigators, it was only later

at the police station when the father-in-law, Singh, confessed.

According to police, Singh told investigators his daughter-in-law had “disrespected” him and they got into an argument involving a bicycle. The pair took the argument into the garage, where Singh grabbed a hammer and “delivered fatal blows” to Bibi’s head, according to investigators.

Singh was booked into the Solano County Jail on a murder charge. He does not have an arrest history. There were some previous issues over the father-in-law’s acceptance of Bibi in his family, the police department said.
