Florida Woman Sentenced 21 Years for Murdering Cheating Husband with Children Present

Denise Nicole Malcolm, a 46-year-old woman from Coral Springs, Florida, was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the second-degree murder of her husband, Rohan Noel Malcolm, 52, after shooting him multiple times at their home over infidelity issues. The incident occurred on August 31, 2024, following a heated argument sparked by Rohan's announcement that he was leaving to visit friends, which Denise believed was a coded reference to seeing another woman. Denise told police she had been aware of her husband's unfaithfulness for over two years, and their marriage had deteriorated with frequent fights and separate bedrooms. Their 14-year-old son witnessed the aftermath, hearing gunshots and calling 911 while his mother fired the fatal shot as officers arrived. Denise entered a no-contest plea and received credit for 285 days already served in jail. The case highlights the tragic consequences of prolonged marital discord and infidelity.
