Before leaving with his 18-month-old sister, the son calls 911 to report that his father stabbed his mother in the kitchen.

Malang Jan Akbari, 46, faces first-degree murder, child endangerment, and armed criminal action charges in Jefferson City, Missouri, after allegedly stabbing his wife to death on January 12, 2026, and fleeing with their 18-month-old daughter.​

Incident Overview

Akbari called his son to confess, “I killed your mom, and I left the house,” prompting a 911 call around 12:25 p.m.; the son found his mother bleeding on the kitchen floor. He suspected infidelity, stabbed her, placed a pillow under her head as she died, prayed over his daughter, and dropped her at a relative’s home before driving off in a blue 2015 Honda Odyssey. An Amber Alert led to his arrest that day on Highway 50.​

Akbari confessed to detectives via interpreter, expressing regret but claiming “no other option,” and faces life without parole if convicted. His attorney, David Moen, entered a not guilty plea citing Akbari’s “severely impaired” mental condition from Afghan Army service injuries; the family moved to Jefferson County four years ago. A bond review is set for January 21, 2026, and preliminary hearing for February 19.​
