LATHROP - The husband of a Lathrop woman found stabbed to death in her home last week was arrested and is a suspect in her homicide, the Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.

Sherene Singh, 34, was discovered dead early in the morning last Wednesday by deputies called to her home, in the 500 block of Bramblewood Avenue.

The Sheriff's Office reported at the time that a man had been taken into custody at the home. He was carrying a knife and had self-inflicted knife wounds. A spokesman for the Sheriff's Office would not identify that man, saying he had not been arrested.

Detective Dave Konecny confirmed Tuesday that man was Baljit Singh, 36, the victim's husband.

Singh was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail, where he was being held without bail.
