Police said a woman from Coral Springs claimed she was “at her wits’ end” when she killed her spouse
RAL SPRINGS, FLORIDA: According to court documents made public on Thursday, a Coral Springs lady claimed detectives she killed her husband inside their house during the Labor Day weekend due to infidelity issues. According to authorities, one of the twin boys, ages 14 and belonging to Denise and Rohan Malcolm, saw his father, who had been shot several times, bleed out on the bedroom floor.
According to an arrest report, 52-year-old Rohan Malcolm was still alive and was holding his shoulder when his wife told investigators she had fired one last shot, killing him just as the police arrived. First-degree murder would be the reason for Denise Malcolm’s 45-year-old arrest.
Police heard a loud bang
The killing, according to Coral Springs police, took place at the family’s residence at 10501 NW 43rd St. on Saturday night. Just after 6:30 p.m., according to the authorities, one of the couple’s sons called 911 to report that his father had been shot in the shoulder but was still alive.
According to the authorities, Rohan Malcolm was shot multiple times. According to the report, two police officers from Coral Springs “took positions of cover outside the front of the residence and began giving loud verbal commands for the occupants to exit.”
According to authorities, the twins came out and “were kept safe.” Officers “heard a loud bang” coming from within the house while continuing to issue orders; they took the noise “to be a gunshot,” according to the report. According to the report, Malcolm would identify it as the fatal shot in an interview with detectives.
According to the authorities, she gave a detailed explanation of her decision to pull the trigger. According to the police report, “Rohan had been unfaithful for the past two years, which led to a breakdown in their (marriage)”. They consequently shared a bedroom and frequently got into angry arguments with one other. She was fed up with his lies and deception and did not trust him.
Husband was not alive
According to the police, she would kill him during one of such arguments. According to the report, Rohan Malcolm “unexpectedly announced that he was leaving to go to Port Saint Lucie with his friends” after the two had returned from a shopping trip to gather goods for a Labor Day BBQ.
“Denise became agitated and began arguing with him, believing that (he) was lying and was actually going to see his (redacted),” the report says. “Denise and Rohan had a heated verbal argument that lasted for 45 to an hour, during which Denise became enraged.”
According to the authorities, she walked to the closet in her bedroom, took out a revolver, and loaded a round into the chamber. She reportedly then fired while standing in the doorway.
According to the report, Malcolm informed investigators that her husband “was not alive after the last shot was fired.” Later on, she would be taken into custody. Malcolm was being held at the Broward Sheriff’s Office Paul Rein Detention Facility in Pompano Beach without bond as of Thursday. As of Thursday, the court had not scheduled any hearings, according to online records.
