He had divorced his wife in January this year.
During the incident, the two daughters were hiding in one of the rooms with their mother, while several family members of the victim fled from the house when the fight broke out.
The daughters are aged eight and 10.
The victim was stabbed in the right ribs. While he was rushed to Melaka Hospital, doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.
