Unfortunately, it is now believed that the man was running away after murdering his wife and child
According to a report by Harian Metro, the 24-year-old suspect is the husband and father of the deceased, who were found in their family home with slash wounds to their necks.
The victim's father, Rosman Ahmad, told the Malay daily that he was shocked by the incident as his daughter and her husband have always been on good terms.
According to him, they were even expecting to hold their wedding reception this month on 24 July after having it postponed since they were married last year due to the Movement Control Order (MCO).
"My daughter and my son-in-law are good kids. They have no problems. I've never heard them fight," said Rosman, adding that his son-in-law has never had a bad temper.
"It's just that lately, I know my son-in-law doesn't have a stable job after quitting his work a few months ago. Maybe he has problems at the work place," he noted.
He said his son-in-law has been doing part-time work and the couple have never complained of financial issues to the family.
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder
The Johor Bahru Selatan police headquarters has appealed to the public with any information about the incident to contact them at +607-2182323 or investigation officer ASP Kathiresh Rajagopal at +6013-4472909.
