On September 15, 2024, she called police when her 38-year-old husband, who had a history of mental illness, attacked his elderly mother and her at their North Point home.
Officers wielding shields arrived and found the man holding a 30cm (11.8-inch) knife and a pair of scissors.
Little did Mrs Li, who preferred to be identified by her spouse’s surname, expect that the day would end in tragedy.
